Try Out "Printer Maestro" Today

The All-in-One Solution for True
Enterprise Print Management on Windows


If you haven't yet tried out Printer Maestro, you've been missing out on a great new way to manage printers, print jobs and even computers. And it's free with BarTender.

The Printer Maestro print management application was first introduced in September 2008 as part of the BarTender version 9.0 Label Management Suite. But Printer Maestro is not only for users of BarTender -- it can manage network print jobs from any Windows program. Printer Maestro consolidates all printer and print job status information from the far corners of your network into a single, easy-to-navigate, centralized window. In contrast, without Printer Maestro installed, Windows requires you to pop-up separate status windows for each and every printer you want to manage.

You can try out Printer Maestro for free right now as part of the "Full BarTender Suite" on our BarTender Download Web Page. You'll be amazed at just how much easier Printer Maestro makes it to view and control what's really happening on your network.

Instead of relying on a separate pop-up Window for each printer, Printer Maestro neatly organizes all network print jobs into a single, scrollable "pane."


Printer Maestro provides the kind of functionality we would have hoped to see provided by Windows itself if it had been designed from the ground up with network print management in mind. Printer Maestro's powerful print management features include:

  • One window allows you to view and manage your entire printer network and every print job (not just BarTender's).
  • Fully compatible with Windows' existing print management functions, including all network functions and the Windows Spooler.
  • Log printer events from BarTender print jobs to a database for later review.
  • Group select and configure basic driver settings for multiple printers at once, including security, schedule, and spooler settings. (Windows by itself only lets you configure one printer at a time.)
  • Easier remote administration of printers on other computers.
  • View all computers on your network and "drill down" into any PC to reconfigure settings and services.
  • Track in-printer usage of ribbons, label stock, and other consumables.
  • Track inventory levels of your consumable and non-consumable printer parts.
  • Alerts: Warnings and errors such as "ribbon low" and other conditions can be sent to your computer or cell phone by e-mail or text message.
