Methods and systems resume workflow processing of a print job at intermediate steps of a print workflow. In one embodiment, a control system initiates processing of a print job based on steps in a print workflow, where the steps identify print shop activities to perform for the print job. The control system identifies an error in executing a step of the workflow, and identifies an intermediate step in the workflow that has executed in processing the print job. The control system identifies an updated file for the print job to correct the error, and resumes the processing of the print job at the intermediate step using the update file.

Systems and methods delay a print job from being automatically rescheduled to a backup printer in response to an error at a printer scheduled to print the job. In one embodiment, a control system determines that a printer scheduled to print a job has an error condition, and identifies the error condition at the printer. The control system calculates a time delay based on the error condition before initiating a rescheduling process for the job to a backup printer. The control system initiates the rescheduling process if the time delay has expired, and cancels the rescheduling process if the error condition has ended before the time delay expires.

A data processing controlled display system for the interactive control of a variety of production operations is provided which offers to an operator or to a production supervisor the means for simplifying complex interactive display interfaces, thereby significantly reducing the number of production operations properties over which the operator has control. In this reduction, all of the operator controllable properties are displayed to the user or operator, and means for selecting a plurality of these controllable properties for interactive operator control of variable property values during said production operations are provided. Upon such a selection, there are further means for maintaining the nonselected properties at constant values during said production operations. These constant value properties remain hidden from the interface and the operator is presented with a simplified interface showing only the properties of which the values are controllable.

Systems and methods are provided for dynamically splitting print jobs to reduce the time taken to start printing those jobs, allowing those jobs to be printed on a wider range of printers more efficiently. One embodiment includes a print server with an interface that is able to receive a Portable Document Format (PDF) print job. The print server also includes a job controller that divides the PDF print job into segments. Dividing the PDF print job includes determining a segment size comprising a number of the logical pages to include in each segment, based on the memory footprint for the logical pages. Dividing the PDF print job also includes generating multiple segments, populating each of the segments with logical pages from the PDF print job based on the segment size, and populating each of the segments with a page tree. The job controller transmits the segments to a printer.

Systems and methods are provided for dynamically splitting print jobs to reduce the time taken to start printing those jobs. One embodiment is a print server that includes an interface that receives a Portable Document Format (PDF) print job. The print server also includes a job controller that determines a size of the PDF print job, and estimates a delay to start marking a first page of the PDF print job. In response to determining that the delay exceeds a threshold, the job controller splits the PDF print job into segments by: generating a first PDF segment that has a delay to start marking the first page that is less than the threshold, and includes a PDF page tree; transmitting the first PDF segment to the printer; generating an additional PDF segment that includes an additional PDF page tree; and transmitting the additional PDF segment to the printer.

System, method, and software of providing a printing service. In one embodiment, a printing system comprises a cloud printing service that stores device capability information for different types of printers supervised by a print server. The cloud printing service receives a print job, identifies a plurality of the printers that are capable of printing the print job based on the device capability information, and transforms printable content and control data of the print job into a plurality of printer-specific print streams. Each of the printer-specific print streams is in a printable output format for one of the plurality of the printers. The cloud printing service provides one or more of the printer-specific print streams to the print server.
