How can I configure a detailed report for print server?
I have installed and configured a windows 2008 SP2 to work as a print server with all the printer installed on it and all Domain users have rights to print to all of the printers setup on the printer server.
Now, I'm looking for a detailed logs and reports that can show me the following:
- user account that printed the print job
- time/date stamp
- print job details (number of pages, Kb size, filename/path printed)
I'd like to be able to report as follows:
- Date Reports (date or range)
- User report
- printer report
- (and of course combinations or sorting of the above)
Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this with the print server.
Thanks

@ alok: Thanks for your quick reply but your link is not described what I need as follow:
Print Management provides current details about the status of printers and print servers on the network. You can use Print Management to install printer connections to a group of client computers simultaneously and to monitor print queues remotely. Print Management can help you find printers that have an error condition by using filters. It can also send e-mail notifications or run scripts when a printer or print server needs attention. On printers that provide a Web-based management interface, Print Management can display more data, such as toner and paper levels.
And what I want is to configure reports.

What I noticed from all comments is that I cannot do that using Microsoft only and I have to use 3rd party software!!
Is that true?
