    print volume reporting solution for USB connected Ricoh printers

    Can anyone point me in the right direction on a client\server solution that collects meter counts on USB connected Ricoh printers. If it also collects the counts on networked machines all the better. The account that I need this for has 50 standalone USB connected printers along with 15 networked MFPs. Right now they are using the latest version of Copy Track to bill out their clients (law firm)but I believe the Copy Track product won't give me a total per machine printer\MFP meter read.
    If anyone is using Copy Track and knows that this solution can perform this task please let me know..

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

      Printfleet has a utility that installs on the local PC to relay counts from USB printers. =^..^=

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          USB doesn't play too nicely with Printfleet....Printfleet uses SNMP to query machines on the ethernet network of which SNMP is a protocol of and gives complete machine statistics. [emoji41]

              Netaphor Site Audit will do this.

                                  No way that USB(locally) connected printers will report all that info. We use Printfleet, but never attempted to connect local printer.
                                  Author mentioned he needs meter readings, that may be the case with this software or others like Printfleet.
                                  A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
                                  Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

                                      OP should download Site Audit and get a trial license and test how well it works
