Important Concepts
Print Spooling
Note: All jobs submitted to printers that are monitored by the XCounter Printer
Control service and port monitors must only be spooled to the NT printer host.
Control service and port monitors must only be spooled to the NT printer host.
Do not allow users to print directly from workstations to network printer addresses, or
XCounter will not see those print jobs (unless XCounter services and monitors are
installed on each workstation). Printers that are accessed in peer-to-peer modes by
workstations using protocols such as AppleTalk, LPR, and DLC should be setup as
follows:

workstations using protocols such as AppleTalk, LPR, and DLC should be setup as
follows:
•
Configure the printer for the peer-to-peer mode on the server
•
Setup sharing on the printer so users can spool jobs to the server's queue
•
Reconfigure workstations to use the server's shared printers instead of peer-to
peer modes

Tracking Jobs by Authenticated Users
If required to keep track of print jobs from users who are logged on/authenticated to
NT servers, it is not necessary to import or create XCounter database entries for
them. XCounter automatically looks up user/names on a Primary Domain Controller
or other server that contains user accounts. If XCounter is enforcing user account
balances/quotas, then users who have had no printer activity are assumed to have an
account balance of zero.

Jobs From Macintosh and LPR Clients

Mac usernames
When Macintosh users submit print jobs to Windows NT printers, the username
typically shows up in parentheses, such as (username). XCounter automatically
strips off the parentheses and processes the print job based upon the username
inside them.
