Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for printing print jobs from a print queue with a printer. The method includes providing a readable memory device defining the print queue, and storing a first print job in the print queue. A second print job is also stored in the print queue. A determination is made whether or not the first print job can be printed by the printer. If the first print job can be printed, the first print job is transmitted to the printer for printing. However, when the first print job cannot be printed, then a determination is made whether or not the second print job can be printed by the printer. When the second print job can be printed by the printer and the first print job cannot be printed by the printer, then the second print job is transmitted from the print queue to the printer for printing.
