Good Afternoon
Is there anyway that I can get LEM to track who is printing what, to which printer, when?
Cheers

There are some connectors in the LEM that look like they should do this:
However, I'm running Windows 8.1, and my testing didn't see the LEM capturing the events. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the connectors or Windows changing log formats or something else. I do see events that would include what you want in the Windows logs, though:

On my machine, this resulted in these keys:
Data looks like this in the LEM:
Credit Update: Thanks to jdee for posting this internally so I could share it.
Where do you see that connector?
I'm also interesting in logging this type of data. Here's a snip from the Application category on a Windows 7 build. The same is true for Window 8 and Server's 2008/2012.
I've search for "print" on both the workstation connectors and the appliance connectors. I have LEM Version 6.0 installed.
I would guess that you need to apply a newer connector pack to get the Print Service connectors.
