The main question that comes to mind when looking at this application’s name is: What can it do? SoftPerfect Print Inspector, a Windows utility developed by SoftPerfect Research, will allow you to manage print jobs queued to any shared printer.

SoftPerfect Print Inspector is meant to be used as a print management and auditing solution on corporate networks. It is meant to provide business owners easy access to the printer and print server settings. By using SoftPerfect Print Inspector, a business owner can minimize the costs of owning printers and can maximize the return on the printer investment.

Before you go get SoftPerfect Print Inspector and put it through its paces, there are some technical bits and pieces you need to know about. The technical bits and pieces presented below:

Download – the download weighs in at 1.8MB, which means the download will complete in very little time. To my mind, not having to wait a long time to get an application off the web and onto my computer is always a nice thing.
Supported OS – at the time of writing this and according to the developer, SoftPerfect Print Inspector provides support for the following versions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system: Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit editions).
Limitations – unlike many other SoftPerfect-developed applications we’ve covered here on FindMySoft, this one is not freeware. SoftPerfect Print Inspector is only free to try, which means you can use the trial version free of charge for a period of 30 days. Once that period is over, you will have to get a license to keep using SoftPerfect Print Inspector.

If you were looking for a powerful print management and auditing solution that can be used for managing print jobs and also provides you with comprehensive statistical information on printer usage and users' printing habits, then you should definitely give SoftPerfect Print Inspector a try.
