    PrintMon already exists - with the snappy advertising quote:
    It can commendably anti- waster of print paper and decrease the consume of printer ,can help you calculate the cost of every employee ...
    What I am looking at is more like outlook rules wizard - but triggered by printer events rather than incoming emails...

    Every combination of two or three English words has been taken - including PrintWatch. Current working title is Sesheta which is the name of the Egyptian goddess of writing and measurement...although not a lot of people know that

    "Your employees are printing PORN, monitor that s|-|1T."

    Or

    "Your employees are printing their resumes...so they can get a better job and leave this s|-|1T Hole...Monitor the experience they're lying about."

    Or

    "Paper ain't cheap you bastards...Keep your employees from wasting your corporate printing budget...monitor that s|-|1T"

    Or

    "Tired of your employees ****ing off all day, printing porn, chain letters, their resumes, their kids school lunch schedules, jokes from other office idiots...then get this ****in' software that not only monitors what those son-of-a-bitchin bastards are printing, but also sends them an instant message informing them if they keep doing that ****...they'll be going home missing a few fingers and toes...just enough to cover the costs of what they have wasted!"
