I have a color printer in windows 2012 that is printing documents unexpectedly. <br />
<br />
Staff will walk in the am and find a 70 page document on the color printer. &nbsp;Asking around, nobody has printed the document. &nbsp;I looked the printer queues of several suspect computers and nothing is jammed up. &nbsp;I looked at printer queue on the server and there is nothing in there.<br />
<br />
I would like to setup auditing &nbsp;on the printer to see who is printing to it, but the articles I ran across do not have good information on it.<br />
<br />
Thanks very much in advance,<br />

Windows 2012 server audting a printer

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
