Gathering accounting and auditing data about print jobs

InfoPrint allows you to gather accounting information about print jobs from two sources:

• The InfoPrint Manager AIX server that applies to all device support systems (DSS). For more information, see Working with InfoPrint Manager server accounting information .

  You should use accounting information from the InfoPrint Manager if you:

  • need to track accounting information for all types of InfoPrint DSSs.
  • want to take advantage of the pdaccount command to summarize data in a spread sheet program.

• The PSF auditing and accounting user-exit programs (applies only to PSF). For more information, see Working with PSF accounting, post-print accounting, and auditing user-exit programs.

  You should use accounting information from the PSF auditing and accounting user-exit programs if you:

  • use only PSF attached printers.
  • need more detailed information than that provided by the pdaccount command.
