If you want to keep records of product usage by different user accounts, you can set your product to require an account ID for each job.
-
In the HP Utility for Windows: select Settings > Accounting > Require account ID.
-
In the HP Utility for Mac OS: select Configuration > Printer Settings > Configure Printer Settings > Accounting > Require account ID.
If this setting is turned on, the account ID field will be mandatory and jobs with no account ID will be kept "on hold for accounting".
The account ID can be set in the printer driver when sending the job. If the job is set "on hold for accounting" by the printer, you can introduce the account ID in the HP Utility by going to the Job Center > Job Queue and clicking the job that is on hold. A window with a text box will be displayed and you can enter the account ID into it.
