Downloaded and installed easily. Looks like a well designed program. The title bar says it is an unregistered version. Clicking on all of the links in the menu bar, I could find nothing about registering it.
Is this the free version?

This could have been a useful piece of software many years ago, not so much these days. For a home user it's basically useless.
For a business user, I could see this possibly being helpful for a small business with a limited number of users that run standard printers, or low-end multi-function copiers. Medium to large business probably would not find much use for this.
I work on office equipment for a living, and with the exception of the smaller, low-end printers and multi-function units, all multi-function copiers have this stuff built into them, so there would be no need for this. The multi-function machines have the ability to keep tract of everything, from pages printed, to an estimated amount of toner used by each job, user, account, average over the last week, month, year, since last PM, etc.
While I don't know too much about the server side, I wouldn't doubt if there was some sort of tracking functionality built into the print server(s) that run on the business/corporate server(s) as well.

I personally can't see any use in this as a home edition for my pc. I can't see keeping tabs on my children for when who uses the printer for school. If this is more for at work business then this might be what some are needing, but for me at home...well I'll just buy more ink for the little schoolers and be a cool dad. Thanks anyways GOTD.

Terry, My reference to the kido's and ink was meant as a joke.

Doing a web search I couldn't find any reviews for O&K Print Watch. The software has been around since early to mid 2000's and it's last update was Oct. 2020. O&K Print biggest competition seems to be Printlogic. It would be useful in Corp/Business environment. For a home user not so much, that is unless the kido's are running you out of ink printing off SpongeBob or Hello Kitty. Thanks to everyone for today's offering!
