N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Release: Page Countster
« on: January 26, 2015, 11:19 AM »
I completely understand the product not being an ongoing project and how the lack of manufacturers willing to follow standards makes it harder (or impossible) to be a perfect reporting solution. Our MFP vendor has been trying to push their own solution on us (for a price which we finally got them to waive since they want the stats as much as we do and they have no way of getting it themselves without manually logging onto a couple hundred machines) but their app is so old the newest db it works with is one that went out of support over 5 years ago (SQL Server 2005) so that's not going to happen - and I don't have any reason to believe that their software will work well with other manufacturer's devices.
I've been trying to find other solutions to this apparently-not-as-simple-as-it-seems issue of how to get B&W and color counts for networked MFPs and Page Countster is the closest I've found to what we need.
Thanks for the reply, and thanks for all the work you put into this product, having seen a lot of kludgy applications in my travels, I really appreciate the simplicity and efficiency of PageCountster.
