[Update] Remote Queue Manager 2.0

[Mel]

Remote Queue Manager is a professional tool to manage printer jobs.
There is no need to install any drivers to control a remote printer. The
program uses the remote computer's drivers. Instead of searching through
non-descriptive job names, Remote Queue Manager allows you to visually
preview documents in the spool. You can easily connect to a remote
printer cancelling unwanted jobs or changing the priority for others.
The program also allows you to view properties for every printer job
(paper size and orientation, printing preferences etc).

Do you have more than one printer in your network? If so, that's NOT a
problem. Remote Queue Manager helps you control all the printers in your
organization, right from where you sit.

Remote Queue Manager is released as Personal and Professional version.
You can use Personal version for free (without preview and
copying/moving print jobs).

Version: 2.00
OS: Windows 2K/XP/2K3
HDD: less than 2MB

Features:
- Remote control of all network printers
- Preview of print jobs in the printer queue
- Copying and moving print jobs from one local printer to another
- Copying and moving print jobs from one network printer to another
(for registered users only)
- Changing all default parameters of print jobs
- Viewing the status and number of print jobs for all printers at the
same time
- Proper determination of the number of Microsoft Word print jobs copies
- Minimizing the program into system tray
- Viewing the Data Type, Position and JobID of all print jobs in the
queue

Hey there,

Too bad, because that makes it crippleware. I would have snapped it up
in an instant if previewing was free.

Have you found one that does it all?

Hey there,

Not yet, but I'll post it here if I do. My son and I have our
computers networked, and if I want to print anything, I either have
him navigate to it from his computer and print it for me, or I copy it
over to his computer so he can print it. Kind of clumsy. I'd love to
be able to control the printer from here.

Seems like if it's a shared printer either computer should be able to
print to the printer. This utility gives the ability to view the print
queue, which is what I wanted, so that I know when my print job is
completed.

Well, if I queue a print job, it queues on my computer instead of his,
and since there's no printer actually connected to this computer, that
won't work. Remote Queue Manager sounds like it would make it possible
for me to send print jobs straight to the other computer, which would
be ideal. Maybe I'll give it a try and see whether I don't even need
the previewing abilities, since I do my previewing in the word
processor/text editor. I'm going out of town for a few days, but will
send a followup in here on the weekend after trying it out.

Do you have more than one printer in your network?

and what about domain, privileges, administrative rights, group policies and
so on?

Oh, you absolute miracle worker! We followed those instructions and I
can now print to the printer on my son's computer without any effort.
Thanks! Our lives are now that much easier.
