1.0 stars

"Glitchy as all get out"

Version: logSheet 2.7.4

Pros

is (technically) cross-platform, we use macs and pcs in our office and this will install on both of them.

Cons

Since windows 7, OS 10.6 upgrade, this does worse than fail at its every purpose. It logs prints that didn't go through as having gone through, constantly pauses print jobs for no reason, and generally makes printing something a 3hr endeavor.

Summary

My office has been using logsheet/checkbox in its various forms for a few years now, and it's always been full of glitches, but they've been tolerable. We're a cross platform office and there aren't many applications this cheap that log printing to a central tracking server, without it also having to be a conventional print server. Since upgrading to windows 7 and OS 10.6, however, it has become completely unusable. It doesn't let authorized print jobs go through, though it logs them as having gone through (so we had to manually keep track of all the jobs that had to be taken off the client invoice). It necessitates "un-pausing" the print cue about 5000 times for every job that does go through. It bills all jobs as color, no matter whether they're b/w or not. All in all, it generally damages the calm of everyone in what is usually a fairly pleasant architecture firm. We've resorted to uninstalling the thing completely, and keeping track manually (on paper) of every print job we do, of which there are thousands, for every client. The office manager is not pleased.
