Pcounter Web Client

Pcounter Web Client is an HTTP CGI application which runs with any Windows web server software, including IIS and Apache.  It duplicates the functionality of Pcounter Popup in any web browser from any platform, including Macintosh, Linux, UNIX, and of course Windows.  It's also great for mobile users and Executive Suites, where users don't have access to the Pcounter Popup client software.

Users who print to the Pcounter server via native Windows protocols, LPR, or Samba/SMB are able to authorize, authenticate, and/or apply client billing codes to print jobs without any need for additional client software.  Users are shown all pending print jobs, which can be authorized with a single button click.

NetWare version

The Pcounter Web Interface (PCOUNTWI.NLM) has a new job authentication page which is available via the NetWare Management Portal. Users who print to NDPS printers via LPR or non-secure iPrint/IPP can login to the server and authorize their jobs to print.

The result?  Full printer accounting capability from any client platform!
