3.1 HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting print server
The HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting Print Server is included with the spooler of your print system.
This allows HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting to detect every print job sent to any of these printers.
HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting keeps track of all printed documents, as well as their
characteristics, some of which are listed below:
● Document name
● Printer (local and shared name) and its properties (such as color or black and white, or duplex unit)
● Job owner: name, machine name
● Number of sent pages and printed pages for HP devices configured to send printer confirmation using
SNMP
● The printing mode (Economode, duplex, color)
● The date and time when the print job was sent
● The media used (such as transparency or paper) and its size (A3, A4, letter)
NOTE: In HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting, the highest level of tracking is by pages. HP Access
Control (HP AC) Job Accounting can intercept and manage job cancellations from the spooler or from the
printer (for an HP printer equipped with HP JetDirect card, using SNMP protocol).
The HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting Web Server enables you to query the HP Access Control (HP AC)
Job Accounting Database Server and to access the data from the HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting
Database Server. The HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting Web Server also enables navigation through
the application using a Web browser. A Web browser is required to display the HP Access Control (HP AC) Job
Accounting interface.
The following diagram illustrates the data flow within your print system.
