Abstract: A method, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a system are disclosed for scheduling print jobs on a plurality of printers. The method includes: collecting job information on each of a plurality of print jobs; obtaining a predicted success rate for each of the plurality of print jobs with each of the plurality of printers based on the job information on the each of the plurality of print jobs, the predicted success rate being a likelihood that a print job can be successfully completed by a printer; and assigning each of the plurality of print jobs to one or more printers of the plurality of printers with the predicted success rate for each of the one or more printers of the plurality of print jobs being greater than a predicted success threshold.

Abstract: A print management method involves a print server using one or more plug-ins to instruct plural output devices to execute child jobs that were split from a single print order. The plug-in can be a group plug-in that enables the print server to communicate with the plural output devices to complete the single print order. The plural output devices can be two printing machines, or one printing machine and one finishing machine.

Abstract: Print shop operations may be visualized graphically to show relationships between a stream of incoming print jobs and a group of available print production devices, such as printing and finishing machines. A visualization process is performed with microservices to generate UI device panes, which form elements of a graphic user interface from which print shop operation can be monitored or controlled. Each microservice corresponds a different one of the print production devices. This can allow for rapid adjustments and customization of the UI, as may be needed due to user feedback, change in user requirements, and introduction of new print production devices to the print shop. Information may be added to the graphic user interface in combination with the UI device panes to facilitate assignment of print jobs to particular print production devices and/or to show which devices can be used sequentially or in parallel to complete the print jobs.

Abstract: A method, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a system are disclosed for creating a mapping library for converting a job ticket. The method includes obtaining a print job ticket schema that comprises a plurality of user items and user values; obtaining at least one sample print ticket each of which comprises a part of the plurality of user items and user values; obtaining a print job history that indicates whether a print job was successfully executed using the job ticket that has been previously created; and displaying a graphical user interface (GUI), which allows a user to associate the user values with target values to be used to execute a print job, wherein at least one of the user values and/or at least one of the target values that was used for the successful print job is shown in a different appearance from other user values and/or target values.
