MyQ Desktop Client

Local Print Monitoring

MyQ Desktop Client is able to monitor the number of printed pages on devices connected locally via a parallel port or a USB port. In such cases, the number of printed pages is extracted from the print spooler as it is being processed by the print driver.

  • If the job is rejected due to breaking the policies or insufficient balance, the reason for rejection is reported to server.

  • If Credit or Quota (cost) is used, then a Price List needs to be assigned to the 'No Terminal' configuration profile.

LPM requires that the CUPS web interface be enabled and running on Mac workstations.

Limitations

  • LPM is supported on LPT, USB, TCP/IP and IPP ports. Monitoring of other ports may work, but it is not guaranteed.

For more information, see Monitoring Local Printers in the MyQ Print Server guide.
