Nice piece of scripting there, I can see what you're trying to do here I always enjoy scripting so I've had a crack at this and changed the script a little bit so it's easier to manage on your behalf. The reason it's not working as expected is because the email job is technically still "color" even though it converted in the first function. The reason it's still technically color is because PaperCut does a conversion on the spool file when it's ready for printing - because the script isn't finished yet, the job is held until that script has been fully run which is causing a double-up of prompts because both IF statements at that point are technically true. Here's the revised script I had a play with - I had to host on pastebin because this reply was too long I've joined the two printJobHooks you had referenced into a single function, and joined a few if statements so it's basically checking on the below: 1) If the job is a color job AND an email, then it'll run through the first IF statement and automatically convert to grayscale 2) If the job is color and is NOT an email, then it'll prompt the user whether or not they want to convert to grayscale, giving them a choice I've tested here on all four test cases and seems to work okay - have a test and see if this is what you're after!

Hey timbo343! I know what you mean - exploring any software is always good fun in what you'll find I guess at the moment you could say that this is working as it was first intended, which was it being added together with Windows 8 live tile updates. The reasons for not putting the environmental dashboard behind a user login is because the live tile information can't be login protected, and so in turn, neither was the dashboard. We've designed this to contain as little information about the user as possible, but can definitely see students getting a bit of a big head if they found out printing habits! We've always recommended that if this were something that caused a few issues, then you would be able to turn if off via the Options -> Config Editor, then searching "user.environmental-impact.enable" and changing this to N. This will mean that the environmental details for each user is completely disabled though. When it IS disabled, the URL is still able to be viewed, however it will show the entire organisations usage rather than being able to see a specific users print habits. We also have got a lot of requests about developing a way to password, so I'll add this as an informal request for development! Sounds like it wasn't set up to disallow transfers when people were unrestricted! Always a fun one to play with that feature when you have infinite money!

Hey Kennysarmy, The other way you could do this is to run the "Group printing - user summary" report which will give you a list of each user that printed in their respective groups. This does mean that the user would have had to print to that group during the time period you set, but that might be an easier one to go off

Hey Roy! Happy to help out - we have a whole bunch of different sites using Sharp copiers with RFID cards, so something's not quite right. Do you get any sorts of beeps or lights on the reader when it's connected? That'll be the first place to start. Basically, does the copier itself register that the card reader is being plugged in, and is it reading swipes okay. After that, if it all seems to be functioning like a normal reader on the copiers end, check the PaperCut admin console's App Log tab to see if there's any errors about incorrect card reads - maybe it does register the card but there's something on the reader that's manipulating the number we read directly. Hopefully this helps - let me know if not and we can check some other stuff.

Not a worry! Glad to have helped. We tend to stuff a lot more information in our CSV's for that exact reason. The PDF and HTML we provide are more for a nicer looking report with the basic information. If you're after more detailed statistics, generally we will provide as much information as possible in the CSV exports. Have a good one!

Yep, depends on the setup. Think of the Card field and the PIN field as a username/password (or a credit card with a PIN as a secure way to use that card number). Most people will use the Primary Card Number field for ID's, with the PIN being a "password" as such for that ID. Hope that helps!

Hey MatthewL, The CSV user list report should show you a whole bunch more - checking demo.papercut.com, I got this CSV which includes the "Primary Card Number" which we consider a PIN/ID number: http://i.imgur.com/r3bIMzh.png The "Primary Card Number" hopefully contains the number that MrLudwig is after. If not, hopefully we can grab a screenshot and take a look at what field we're wanting to report on :-)

This should be possible if it's the field I'm thinking of! If you head into the Reports section, the User List report can be exported to CSV. This report will contain all user information, including their current Card ID/PIN's. From there, just rip out the columns you don't want and hopefully the cashless system has a fairly similar import process from CSV. If this isn't what you're after, if you can throw a screenshot of the field you're wanting to report against, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
