Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for identifying conflicts between the requirements of an incoming print job and the configuration of a printer that has been requested to print the job. The system receives a request to move a print job to a queue for a printer and identifies a requirement of the print job. The system analyzes a current and a scheduled configuration of the printer to determine whether the current configuration or the scheduled configuration of the printer can handle the print setting. Responsive to determining that the current and scheduled configuration of the printer cannot handle the print setting, the system analyzes configurations of at least one other printer to identify another printer having a current configuration or a scheduled configuration that can handle the print setting. Further, the system provides information identifying the other printer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A print server comprising: an interface system that receives a request to move a print job to a queue for a printer wherein the printer includes multiple scheduled configurations across a period of time; and a control system that identifies a print setting of the print job, analyzes each scheduled configuration of the printer across the period of time to determine whether any of the scheduled configurations can handle the print setting, and responsive to determining…
