Print Queue Manager

Print Queue Manager (XP/Vista/7)     

FREE PRINT QUEUE MANAGER - TURN ANY PC INTO A PRINT SERVER!!

Do you manage a computer lab? A library computer network?
University department?  Internet Cafe?

Do you want to cut down on uncollected print jobs and paper?

Is wasted paper and toner costing you money?

Save money and the environment by reducing paper and ink usage through better print management.

This simple and small, but powerful, application gives you complete control over a printer queue allowing you to pause, delete and resume all documents. It can save you paper and ink or toner by giving you control over your print flow. The application runs at the user level so it complies with your corporate security policy for managing printers and documents.

The power behind Print Queue Manager is the AutoQueue and AutoRelease functions which will turn the selected printer into a controlled print server queue. Jobs will be stored until they are manually released individually or in bulk. You have complete control over jobs and printers and you can delete unwanted jobs. The Auto Release feature allows you to set the program to print or delete all remaining jobs at a certain time of day and now, with Favourites, can even activate a queue at the scheduled time, if required.

Version History

1.0.0 (2000) This was built from random pieces of source code online in late 2000 as a simple way of viewing print queues.

2.0.0 (2001) Volunteering in IT at the UNSW Union in 2001 a requirement came to control the print access for the computer labs. The result of this was the AutoQueue function.

2.7.0 (March 2006) This was my first public release of the software as a free download.

2.7.15 (July 2007) The interface is now scalable allowing you to expand the program up to full screen.  The application will now remember all your settings on exit including the window size and the options you have selected and it will reconnect and reload these on next launch, including AutoQueue and Timed Release Settings on the correct printer queue.  I have updated the interface and added a splash screen as loading saved settings can take longer as the application needs to connect to the correct server and queue, but it will save you time as the application loads ready to use.  You can restore the original settings with a new option in the file menu.  I have added status icons to the job queue and you can click on a column heading to sort jobs by that detail.  You can also reorder the columns of the job queue grid.

2.7.20 (July 2007) With the new space on the full screen mode I have added some new features providing an improved update process and a new server shared folder and printer window that is a handy companion tool.  You can now check whether a new update is available without having to launch the website.  To make these new features useful I have also created two default views; compact and full.  Compact retains the existing interface while Full gives you twice the room to show off the new features.  Updates is now no longer in the menus.

2.7.22 (July 2007) This is mainly a bug fixed.  I fixed a problem with printer properties defaulting to first in list every time and then discovered an issue with them not working on remote printers.  This has now been corrected. Printer Properties will show for current active print queue. 

3.0.6 (September 2009) Improved Icon, Improved Look, Improved Software. User Guide.

3.0.10 (February 2010) Fixed Shortcuts, Updated for Windows 7, Installer

4.0.100 (May 2010) New configurable interface, 20 favourites, auto release automatic activation, licencing, Panels, options including polling rates, statistics and logging, fast queue switching for favourites, HTML Reports and much more. PRO version.

Recommendations

Do you need a printer pool?
Need to product multiple copies or route jobs to print and file?
Want to create triplicates or duplicates on different printers and paper?

Print Distributor is a third party program which allows you to print distribute, route and control printed output.  This is achieved through virtual printer queues which can be configured to manage print jobs and direct them accordingly. Print Queue Manager can work on virtual print queues allowing you to manage a single queue but route approved jobs to print, print to multiple printers or save to file.
