1.1 Overview
It is now easier than ever to access information. Whether you access data using the Internet or a company
intranet, it is often necessary to print some of this information for archival purposes. This has resulted in
rising expenses for many companies, due to increased printing costs.
HP Access Control (HP AC) Job Accounting:

business. It helps manage your print system by tracking all copy originating from workstations within
your local area network and print jobs processed through a central print server.
