Printer Detector

I am looking for someone who can build a small software application (probably Java) with a web-based control panel. The first phase of this software will simple "sniff out" or identify all the printers on a network. I would also like to find out what it would take to track print jobs (nothing complex, just track who the job was sent from and how many pages). Would also like to be able to run some simple reports like User Report that simply tracks the # print jobs a person printed, how many pages and to which printers and what type of printers they are. I am not sure of the details or how this would be built so I am looking for input. I really only want to track printers who support PS (PostScript) and PCL (Printing Control Language). I'm not worried about any other printers. I would prefer the sniffer actually goes out and find the printers...not that it has to wait until someone prints to a printer before it detects it. However, if the only way is to install it on a network and wait for people to print, that is okay as well. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform I think I would like this to be a Java based application but maybe it could be written in C#, C++, or .NET - I am looking for input. I would like it to be able to run this on any platform but again, I am open to discussion of the best way to do it.
