Possibly a bit of a cheeky request…
Looking for someone who is willing to throw together a script that will, upon initiation, connect to each of a set of print servers in turn and save off the System event log as a text file and then save it to a central location with the file name being the server name the event log was extracted from.
If a specific user ID could be entered and just the prints from that user are extracted that would be cool.
Failing that, if anyone can point me in the direction I might need to go to write this myself ( though my scripting skills are pretty poor to be honest)I would be most appreciative.

I'd look at

Covers most, if not all, of what you'd need to know to write such a script.

Are you prepared to pay? If so, I'm sure I could help lol D
Find a utility called DUMPEL and write a simple batch file … just call it once per server, then a load of copy commands.
Not elegant, but it'll work … and then the next one you write you can improve!
