Printer Counter

Overview

Printer Counter is a shop-floor web app for printing businesses. Staff record daily printer page counts; the system helps allocate revenue toward machine rent and gives owners a clear view of usage. It is a focused slice of the same domain as Srijaya ERP (printer meters, rent, paper) — a small product that solves one painful loop well.

Problem

Shared printers in a copy shop earn rent from page volume. If counts live in a notebook, disputes and missed rent follow. Owners need a daily counter and a simple financial allocation, not a full ERP, on days they only need the meter.

What I built

• Daily printer page-count tracking
• Financial allocation toward machine rent
• Staff-friendly UI for shop use
• Persistent records in MySQL
• PHP server logic with an HTML/CSS/JS frontend

Impact

• Directly informed later Srijaya printer-meter and rent workflows
• A real shop problem (meters and money) instead of a generic CRUD demo
• Public repo for a domain-specific operations tool

Key features

• Page counters per machine / day
• Rent / allocation view
• Simple staff UI
• Stored history for planning

Technologies

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the frontend. PHP and MySQL for server logic and storage.

My role

Solo full-stack build for print-shop operations, later generalized inside Srijaya ERP.
