About PrintTrak
A print logging and accounting solution for businesses, libraries, and schools to monitor and recover printing costs.
PrintTrak is a print management software by LyGil Software designed to help organizations monitor printer usage and recover associated costs. It functions by logging every print job, capturing details like the user, document name, and page count. This data can be used to implement charging schemes, making it suitable for environments like businesses, libraries, internet cafes, and educational institutions. Key features include detailed logging, cost calculation, user group management for billing, and automated usage reports. The software operates on a client/server model, allowing flexible logging across a network. While the product has a history dating back to at least 1996, the vendor has suspended new sales due to a lack of support and development staff, though it aims to support existing customers. Pricing was previously listed as a one-time purchase. The software is designed for Windows server environments but can log jobs from various client operating systems.
