Print Identifier

[Bridget]

I want to be able to identify either which PC or user has printed to a shared network printer, by having the identity printed at the head or foot of a page, or a separate page. I know I can do it in Word, but how about the rest of Office? With 52 users and only 3 printers in a big library it's a must! All Office products used incl Word, Excel and Access. Any ideas?

We do the following in Access:

1. If Access' built-in security has been implemented, the CurrentUser
method is invoked in code to return the user name.

2. If there is no implementation of Access security, then we use the code
found at the following link to return the network user id:

3. To identify the computer, we use the code found at:

Network printers can be configured to print an identifier page at the
beginning of every job. Do it that way, and it will apply to every job
sent to that printer regardless of the generating application, even if
it's Notepad.
