Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented system and method for monitoring printer-related data on USB cables. A USB-compatible device is placed in-line between a non-networked computer and a printer and monitors the line for print-related data. Once detected, the print-related data is transmitted via a radio frequency to a base station. The base station subsequently compiles the print-related data and relays the data to a printer reporting system.

Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented system and method for monitoring printer-related data on USB cables. A USB-compatible device comprising a field programmable gate array and a microprocessor is placed in-line between a non-networked computer and a printer and monitors the line for print-related data. Once detected, the print-related data is transmitted via a radio frequency to a base station. The base station subsequently compiles the print-related data and relays the data to a printer reporting system.

Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented system and method for monitoring network content data on USB cables. A USB-compatible device comprising a field programmable gate array and a microprocessor is placed in-line between a non-networked computer and a peripheral device and monitors the line for network content data meeting a set of predetermined criteria. Once detected, the network content data is transmitted via a radio frequency to a base station. The base station subsequently compiles the network content data and relays the data to a reporting system.

Abstract: Provided is a system for pairing or associating hardware in a printer-related data reporting system. The system utilizes custom application-specific software installed on a mobile or wireless device to enable a technician to easily and quickly assign the components of a printer-related data reporting system via tags placed on the individual components of the reporting system and uploading the data to a central server.
