Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for automated promotion of monochrome jobs for highlight color (HLC) production printers in favor of color print jobs when it is determined that the color print jobs cannot be printed in an originally called-for marking material. First print jobs having a color content and second print jobs not having a color content are stored in a print queue. When an inability of the printing apparatus to print hard copy documents having a color content is detected, print jobs not having a color content are selected for printing from the print queue. Jobs are processed to determine color content including use of a raster image processing (RIP) at a low level resolution. A process in a print queue management system is provided for detecting an inability of the printing apparatus to print hard copy documents having a color content and for promoting print jobs without a color content for printing.
