Tracking printers attached to 
Windows 95/98/Me workstations 
XCounter can also monitor printers that are connected to parallel ports of Windows 
95 and 98/Me workstations, enabling sharing of these printers with other users. 
However, even if the printer is not shared and is used by a single user, XCounter can 
still monitor its usage. The data from Win 95/98/Me printers are sent to the NT Data 
Server and are integrated into the XCounter log files and accounting databases. 
The printer’s XCounter configuration can be administered remotely using XControl if 
the printer is shared and the workstation is running the Remote Registry Service. 
However, printers, port installation must be done on the workstation where the printer 
is located as they are for NT. Use the following procedure to configure a 
Win95/98/Me local printer for XCounter: 
• 
Run the XControl program from the Workstation that the local printer is 
attached to. Select the locally attached printer and press the “
X
” button on the 
toolbar. A printer configuration window will appear. 
• 
Select the Data Server to which the printer data is to be stored on.
