PaperCut Dashboard

[HMCTech]

Using PaperCut and I would like to be able to use some of the information that is displayed onteh dashboard on our SharePoint intranet. HAs anyone acheived this or woudl know a way to do it? I know you need to log in to the dashboard so that may prove a stumbling block.

I e-mailed their support a while back asking the same question, and got this response.

 

We do have many ways of extracting information out of PaperCut that could be used

elsewhere.

 

If you want to summarize the printing then you can schedule a report to be saved to a file

on a periodic basis and then use the data out of this file.

For information on this see here:

Scheduling and Emailing Reports

 

For extracting more specific information one can use the Xml Web Services Api:

The XML Web Services API

And correspondingly the server command:

Appendix*A.*Tools - database, server-command scripting, and APIs (Advanced)

allows information to be retrieved through a command.

 

I haven't got round to trying any of the suggestions yet mind.

 

Mike.

They have some bigger plans for the dashboard and it is very flexible.
