Printer: Black pages printed only (exclude color pages printed)

[masterblaster]

Is there a way in Lansweeper to report on printer pages printed for only black pages printed excluding color copies?

For instance:

Lansweeper states 60000 pages printed by a printer, but in reality on 28k have been black print outs.

We have a vendor who charges per page on black toner. We would like to run reports through Lansweeper to verify their invoices each month.

I have pasted our current report below. It only offers the option to have total pages printed. For our color printers this is difficult as the page count is totaled and displayed in Lansweeper.

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetName,
tblAssetCustom.Printedpages,
tblAssetCustom.Manufacturer,
tblAssetCustom.Model,
tblAssetCustom.Serialnumber,
tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
tblAssets.IPAddress,
tblAssets.Mac,
tblAssets.AssetID,
tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename
From tblAssets
Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = tblAssets.Assettype
Where tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = 16
Order By tblAssetCustom.Printedpages Desc

Susan,

Please mark our company as a customer who would love to see this implemented. It would greatly decrease our accounting time.

Done, but no release date unfortunately.

Are there any news for this topic?
It would be great to use this feature for our Kyocera printers.

Thank you. 🙂

Lansweeper only scans the total printed pages count for now. There are no separate fields in the database for black & white and color. This feature is on our customer wish list, but we do not have a release date for it.

Keep in mind that Lansweeper only scans specific SNMP fields for now. Custom SNMP scanning is not currently possible.

The vendor uses SNMP to scan our printers to bill for pages printed. Lansweeper uses SNMP. So I think it could be possible.

This is a blurb from how they are using SNMP...

-<snmpattrib attrname="ricoh-counter-table" parentoid="1.3.6.1.4.1.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9">


-<attrib oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.1">

<attrvalue>61713</attrvalue>

</attrib>


-<attrib oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.2">

<attrvalue>61713</attrvalue>

</attrib>


-<attrib oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.3">

<attrvalue>29490</attrvalue>

</attrib> This is the black pages printed!


-<attrib oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.4">

<attrvalue>194</attrvalue>

</attrib>


-<attrib oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.5">

<attrvalue>32029</attrvalue>

</attrib>

You may have to get that info from the printer management page itself. Not sure that Lansweeper can get the separated data from the printer via SNMP.
