Printer Squirrel is an application that monitors print jobs being sent to printers, and sets charges. It is particularly useful in situations where charging for printing needs to occur instantaneously or where a number of individuals or groups are working together using the same equipment but are financially unrelated and thus need to be charged accordingly.
Printer Sprite is an application that monitors print jobs being sent to printers, recording details such as the user and computer that sent the job and the number of pages printed, orientation duplexing etc, for a print job.
