Bonjour à tous voici un petit logiciel qui mérite d'être partagé :

Langues : En
Compatibilité : Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Seven
Licence: Freeware.

Description de l'auteur:

The company I work for re-manufactures laser printer toner cartridges as a primary (cost center) product. We needed a way to quickly find out how many printers were on a customers network, what model they were, their page counts, serial numbers, toner levels & etc. The application had to be small, portable, fast, & simple enough for the sales staff to operate... smiley

Most of what I found back then was neither small nor portable, and cold network scanning speeds were slow. Most of the applications currently available are designed (primarily) to generate tons of pretty reports for the boardroom types, and leave the IT types to suffer with a bloatware mess.

Features

1. Quickly find printers on a network
   
2. Auto-detection of network address range
   
3. Send Printer Information Report to Email Address.
   
4. Option to save a default network configuration to Config.ini
   
5. Quickly reopen report(s) via Drag-N-Drop into program window.
   
6. Send a (Plain Text) test page to any network printer without needing a driver.
   
7. Quick & easy way to replace serial number (on HP printers) if formatter has been changed...HP's method takes, 10min, an Uber secret code, & an act of congress.
   
8. Quick & easy of changing the printer's (Ready State) Display Text to any 16 character (max) string. Granted this "feature" is primarily a toy that will be missused...But, I couldn't resist adding it.
   
9. Can also (quickly) change/update page counts & HOST Name.
   
10. Scan reports can be saved in either .csv or .tsv format for import into Excel, or reopened to rescan a given group of printers. Emailed reports are in a printable HTML table format.
    
11. Portablility: requires no install or runtimes
    
12. Fast: Typically scans at a rate of 20 IPs per second
    
13. Small: Currently only 282KB

Usage
Installation
Double-Click to run & select Start New Scan from the Printer Scanning menu.

Using the Application
The application was designed from the ground up to be simple, straight forward, and self-explanitory.

Uninstallation
Simply delete it & the Config.ini file (if it was created)

Known Issues
Due to the high level of packet crafting required to hit the target speed of approx 20 IPs per sec, the application uses RAW Sockets and therefore requires administrative rights to scan the network. e.g. UAC will require the program be run as administrator or the scan will fail. (I can see f0dder cringing now ... sorry man couldn't be helped).

There is a handle leak that will cause the desktop to exhaust its default handle limit (crash) if a range of 8,000 or more addresses are scanned in a single session. So... if you happen to be scanning a hospital or university (I have) it's best to scan in 4,000 IP address blocks, save the report, restart the program, reopen the report and then continue scanning. While this bugg is at the top of the list, I'm currently tied up with a production inventory management system that has to be on-line by the end of the year.

The scanner will detect and report any brand of network printers only, locally attached devices that require share access are outside the scope of the current version of the software.

Mon commentaire perso !!

Voilà je viens de faire une petite découverte d'un logiciel ultra léger, un simple fichier exe, ultra simple d'utilisation, mais pour les personnes gérant un réseau d'une puissance remarquable.
Le logiciel permet de trouver toutes les imprimantes de votre réseau (détection automatique de votre plage IP) !
Mais la détection est une chose le logiciel vous donne comme info, l'adresse IP, adresse MAC, Nom réseau, Modèle, Numéro de série, nombre de page édité...

A découvrir rapidement, mais j'espère à voir sur notre Liberkey magique !!!!
