    Printer Software

    Does anyone out there have any code that will collect data from a networked printer and report it to an excel file e.g paper useage, number of pages printed per user, toner state, etc ???

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    What you ask is a daunting task.

    Along with what MerrionComputin gave you, here are some more links that provide printer information. As already stated, you will wind up having to write your own printer monitoring routines that will be taylored to your needs.
