How can I catch print jobs?

Question

Windows

You need to see at the end of the day how many copies were sent to the printer, and what size they were. Multiple printers can be connected to a computer.

Answer 2

The easiest way is to use "System Monitor". A limited number of counters are available, but for the sake of a little statistics it may be enough.
To make some counters reset to 0, I restart the print queue with a script:

net stop "spooler"
del /S /Q c:\windows\system32\Spool\Printers\*
net start "spooler"

If you need to find out the number of printed pages through a script, then here's an example using Powershell:

get-counter "\Очередь печати(_total)\Всего напечатано страниц" | Foreach-Object {$_.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue}
