I have a shared printer that is accessible to Google Cloud Print services. I would like to enable this usage for our users, however, I need to be able to run reports to see who printed what, when. We allocate printer supply costs based on usage, and as far as I can tell, Google doesn't give me a way to get any data about past print jobs other than the name of a job, it's status, and when it happened. What about who did it? I know that Google knows their email address! What about how many pages it was, or what settings were used (b/w vs. color, 1- vs. 2-sided, etc).
I hope I am just missing it.
Also, if perhaps this information is not available through Google's UI but is available through any developer-aimed APIs, that would be great info, because I can certainly get at it from that angle if necessary.
Any help or advice would be great!
I used a different approach then your. I used as a base this library https://github.com/escube/GoogleCloudSpooler i developed and created a web service from it. People can login in my system, upload the file to my server and i log everything there. My service upload to google cloud printer. This is the only way to keep control on how and what peole use my printers.
I should clean my web code in the next code and maybe publish on git hub if someone thinks that can be useful.

All of a sudden Google started to say my application is a virus. Does anyone know the best way to reach out to them and to have a "closer" look? Microsoft has a SmartScreen submission page where you can upload your application and ask them to review it, and it works great & fast...
Every single antivrus other than Google's Cyren says my application is safe, including: AVG, ESET-NOD32, Mailware Bytes, McAfee, Symantec, Webroot, BitDefender, and etc... (I just listed the "famous" ones)
Cyren currently does have a way to submit such samples. They accept submissions via E-mail (with zipped and password-protected attachment), and via FTP.
For details, please see: https://www.cyren.com/support/reporting-av-misclassifications
Please note that Cyren is not owned by Google, and VirusTotal is in fact listing it as a separate positive result. I was unable to find what Google product is used. My best guess would be Google's SafeBrowsing.
me and my friend are developing new code and we want to maintaine from time to time.
we looking for sodtware or service that can provide us what github and his "friends" are providing but we dont want to store our code on the cloud or in the web.
a software that can provide us something like when someone is working on the code so no one else can work on this in the same time' you know what I mean...
can anyone recommand about software or service like this?
thanks a lot!
Gitlab is easy to install on a Linux server.
It offers a lot of features on the open version, it is what you're searching for I guess.
The Gitlab on the cloud is not free, it is similar to Github, but don't worry you won't have to pay unless you need advanced features (out of issues, PR, basic CI, hooks...) https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/#self-managed
First of all you i have to define what you really need. It seems that your are looking for a remote solution that enables you and friends to work together on common code and at the sametime you don't want a "cloud" solution.
By "cloud" i guest you want to say not in internet? If it is so; why don't you try a personnal Gitlab server, hosted on a server in your home or friend's one. If you have serious unix skill this is something that you can envisage or try a private cloud solution as bitbucket.
I hope you can help me with a problem:
I want to create a web application that requests user data from a Google Home device. I then want to create an interface that summarizes all this data and shows convenient data analytics to the user. For example: How many times I switched a light on during a week, or what music I'm listening to, or which light are on or off at a certain moment.
The problem is that I have no idea where to begin, I've been searching through Google and stackoverflow without avail. I came across a site called home-assistant.io, but that seems to be a program that consists of different modules and has the Google assistant "on the side" instead of using the Google assistant to gather the data.
So I guess it boils down to is it possible to use the Google Home to gather usage statistics, or isn't that possible (yet)?
In short - it isn't.
Users can see what they've done using their Google account, including through the Assistant, using https://myactivity.google.com.
However, third-party developers have no access to on-device activity, no access to the content at myactivity.google.com, and no way to intercept or view what a user is doing using the Assistant. In short - no way to gather statistics outside of their own, specific, Action.
There are lots of reasons this isn't allowed, but probably the biggest is security and privacy. Google gets a lot of criticism for collecting this information, and would probably get even more if it was possible for those outside Google to get it as well. (Google also has a business reason for limiting outside access to this information, admittedly.)
I apologize for my fundamental lack of knowledge in regards to these technologies in advance. I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the whole Azure AD/Authentication process in general, and I don't feel that Microsoft's support documents adequately describe much of the process.
I appears to me that the REST requests themselves are quite simple, and the following page seems to detail them quite well. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/files-rest-operations
However, what I fail to understand is the authentication process.
My goal here is to determine if what I'd like to do is even possible, so I will begin with that. What I need to be able to do is to be able to make REST API calls from a JSP or potentially a PHP script to access a link to a file located on a user's Onedrive for Business account. To put it simply, I would just like to be able to quickly get a publicly accessible link to a user's file. From the perspective of having access to the REST API, that seems to be a simple task, my challenge is understanding and implementing the capability to do so.
Correct me if I am wrong, but my current understanding of the process goes something like so.
Create an application in Azure AD, you need to define a location for signing on. I'm not certain how this works at all, does the defined location need to be making a request to sign on somehow? Does it need to exist on the same domain? I honestly have no idea the nature of how you actually go about signing in, but it requires some authentication of the application as well.
Once you have signed in, you have access to a 'security token' that has information about the application and what it can access. how is this token stored? A server session, browser cookies?
Somehow you pass this token along with your REST request and it is determined that you have access to the information you are requesting.
I have used pre-made JavaScript file pickers in the past to facilitate the selection of user files for things such as Google Drive and Dropbox, but it doesn't appear as though any such tools exist for Onedrive for Business, so I will need to become familiar with the authentication process myself. Looking into the Microsoft documentation has only served to confuse myself more, and unfortunately all of the examples are for .NET projects as far as I can tell. I am afraid that this means that is it only possible to access this information from a .NET project, but please correct me if this is not the case.
I realize that this question appears extremely ignorant, and that's likely because it is. Moving from JavaScript file pickers to something like this appears to be a significant leap in required technical prowess, and I'm still rather new, so please forgive my inexperience. Most importantly I'd like to know if what I'm looking to do is possible at all, and secondly if there are any readily available resources that are a little more focused than the Microsoft documentation.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
There are some great resources available for coding for Office 365 and not just those on MSDN.
The best place to start is http://dev.office.com. This is the destination for information on O365 development. You can get to the documentation, training materials and code samples. The code samples have a filter so you can search on a number of properties including language and product. There are samples of course for .net, but also for iOS, Android and PHP, which is what you mention you want to use for your project.
http://dev.office.com/code-samples-detail/2138
This sample connects to the calendar, but the important part is understanding the authentication process for your application to Azure AD. Once you get the authentication working, you can call the other O365 services by getting the resource url to the appropriate resource from the Discovery Service.
If you need more samples, http://github.com/officedev is the place to look. These samples are from Microsoft, the community as well as the code used in Microsoft and community training events and presentations.
If you prefer, some great training courses exist on Microsoft Virtual Academy for Office 365 development. These are online videos that are broken into chapters and sections so you can easily find what you need. They often have labs associated with them as well. I recommend the Intro to Office 365 Development - Section 5 to get a quick overview of the Office 365 APIs and then look at the Deep Dive: Integrate Office 365 APIs in Your Web Apps.
If you still have questions, this is the place to post them. Hope this helps. Reply if you have any questions.
Just looking for some help/suggestions with this. I require my own server for an upcoming project that will be hosting users websites. I want to build a control panel the user can log into and modify their website which will be stored elsewhere on the server. This all seems easy enough, It's just managing domains and emails that confuse me.
What should I look for to manage domain names and point them to the correct website and also what would be the best way to manage email accounts/set up new ones etc. I want to avoid cPanel/WHM if possible, I'm looking to control most things through the control panel I will be building. So any suggestions on this would be useful as well, as I will be wanting to add email accounts through php (Can be done using a shell I assume?).
I will also be wanting to measure bandwidth used on the websites contained in each users directory, any suggestions on making this possible?
I'm really looking for some suggestions on what software to use to set this up, any advice would be really helpful!
Thanks,
Graeme
It sounds like you've got a lot of creative room. May I suggest a web framework? Django. With it you can build out a nice control panel, it's template system is clean and concise. It's also based on Python and thats why I suggest it. If there is a python module for it, you can use it in Django... so things like altering, creating, etc. local data/files is a breeze. you simply us Python (you can even forget it's "django"), crunch your data and then spit it out (into django... out to templates.. to display to the user).
You'll likely want AJAXY biznazz, their is a nice Django App for that, Dajax. Django has a rich and helpful community and tons of resources. Just hop on GitHub.com and search for Django, You'll find tons of stuff.
Im building a DNS Control Panel with it. Which sounds like a minimal version of what you're doing.
