End User Inquiry Tool
Requirements: Installs on Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista Workstation.
This application is designed to assist the end user in understanding what is occurring with their printing. The Tool installs on Windows workstations allowing them to view their current balance; it will also notify them when and why a print job has been restricted. When installed on the workstation it will only reside in the Task Tray located in the bottom left hand corner. The User can mouse over it, or double click on it to view their balance information.
As mentioned above, the program serves a dual purpose. It can be used to receive pop-up messages from the Print Manager Plus Service. This will only occur if the Microsoft Messenger Service on the Server and Workstation are turned off, if not Print Manager Plus will automatically use the Microsoft Messenger Service to send its pop-ups.
