This invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring a locally attached printer using the locally attached printer's Ethernet interface. A USB device is installed between a computer and a locally attached non-networked printer and additionally connects to the printer via an Ethernet interface. The USB device uses SNMP (or other network protocols) to manage the printer via the Ethernet interface. The system may then report the management information to a central server.

Apparatus and method for metering and monitoring printer related data on non-networked printers

This invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring a locally attached printer using the locally attached printer's Ethernet interface. A USB device is installed between a computer and a locally attached printer and additional connects to the printer via an Ethernet interface. The USB device uses SNMP (or other network protocols) to manage the printer via the Ethernet interface. The system may then report the management information to a central server.

Provided is a device for monitoring printer-related data on USB cables. The USB-compatible device comprises a first USB connector, a second USB connector, a processor, and a non-volatile memory. The device stores printer-related data, reports stored printer-related data to a server, and removes the stored printer-related data from the non-volatile memory.

Device for the passive monitoring and reporting of printer-related data on USB cables

Provided is a computer-implemented system and method for monitoring printer-related data on USB cables. A USB-compatible device comprising a field programmable gate array and a microprocessor is placed in-line between a non-networked computer and a printer and monitors the line for print-related data. Once detected, the print-related data is transmitted via a radio frequency to a base station. The base station subsequently compiles the print-related data and relays the data to a printer reporting system.

System and method for the passive monitoring and reporting of printer-related data on USB cables

A method for installing a print monitor device and notifying an installer after the print monitor device is installed. In one aspect of the method, a print monitor device is associated with a customer location, installed at the customer location, and then the print monitor device is registered in a centralized repository. In another aspect, after the print monitor device is registered, a notification is sent to an installer. In another aspect, the notification is a message which includes information about the print monitor device and the devices the print monitor device has discovered and is monitoring in a customer location.
