Abstract
Print control and print logging may be performed using a web service and a terminal emulator. This may enable a business using an enterprise business application to monitor, control, and log printing activity for further analysis. This functionality may be useful to provide additional security and privacy for business activities. The web service may receive print data and store the print data in a staging database record. The staging record may be analyzed and the data stored as a profile record. The profile record may contain user profile information along with respective access paths for a received print request. The staging record may be deleted upon creation of the profile record. The profile record may be searched and analyzed for particular print information and data reports may be provided and output to an enterprise application.
