Trace a shared printer

[NADIAZIPPER]

Is there a way to see who has a shared printer mapped? Or is there a way to trace who is printing documents through a specific printer on a server? I have a user who receives reports everyday to his printer and we need to track who is sending the documents.

I'm not sure it can do it, but I know it tracks down shares, active shares, user access and security, and other neat features.

Just look at the printer's Que. click on the particular printer you want to check out and monitor the que.

I think you could also look at the print servers open files and look for PIPE\Spoolss connections.
