O&K Print Watch is a comprehensive print management and auditing software developed by O&K Software to help organizations track printer usage, enforce print policies, and slash operational costs. By providing total network visibility, it turns unmonitored printing expenses into a transparent, manageable budget item.
The platform supports both Windows and Linux environments (integrating natively with CUPS) and works across local, shared, and network multi-function printers (MFPs) regardless of the manufacturer hardware. Key Capabilities & System Features

Automatic Document Archiving: Saves exact copies of printed jobs as PDFs or image files, establishing an indisputable audit trail for security and incident reviews.
Dynamic Policy Enforcement: Pauses or forbids print jobs automatically based on cost thresholds, color restrictions, page counts, or custom keywords.
Fair-Share Quotas: Implements precise volume or budget caps for individual users, departments, or Active Directory groups to prevent resource hoarding.
