Abstract: Systems and methods for providing capabilities matching in a printing environment, including performing copy splitting, document splitting, color separation, pool printing, finishing, sheet assembly, and the like. Capabilities needed to perform a print job are matched with the available capabilities of the printing devices in the system. In some embodiments, a print processor is used in performing the capabilities matching. The print job is then selectively routed to one or more printing devices to process the print job.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically installing or updating a printer driver on a computer device without requiring a user to initiate the installation or update. In a system that includes a computer device, a printer device and a printer driver source, a print job is initiated and a connection with a printer driver source is established. A request is made for information relating to the performance of an automatic update of a dynamic printer driver. A determination is made as to whether or not an update is available. If the update is available, a determination is optionally obtained relating to whether or not the system may proceed in performing the automatic and dynamic update. The update includes obtaining dynamically linkable object components and linking the object components with a main entry object to form a dynamic printer drive that may be used to execute the print job.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a time-to-availability attribute for use in a variety of printing environments to dynamically manage the load balancing of print jobs across multiple printing devices, wherein the attribute is supported on the client side, on the server side or by printer firmware, and wherein the attribute is implemented in a printer driver, a print processor, a spooler, a print server, a printer firmware spooler, or another component of a print subsystem. Job information and heuristic information are obtained to facilitate the load balancing of each print job and are stored separately from the print data. The job information includes information for estimating the amount of time to render a particular print job on a specified printer. The heuristic information includes accumulative information for estimating the actual performance of the printer under various print modes. The time-to-availability attribute for each printer may be used in both cluster printing and intelligent routing to load balance print jobs, wherein the print jobs are balance across a group of printers to produce a maximum throughput and minimum time to completion.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise methods and systems which enable a user to detect the status of printing devices without the use of additional hardware or application program modification for this purpose. These embodiments comprise a print processor which can check printing device status prior to sending a print task to a printing device. These embodiments may further check the status of a printing device after a print task has been sent to the device and may determine whether a printing device has successfully completed a print task. Some embodiments may further redirect, restart and reconfigure print tasks with the help of printing device status information.
