Abstract
A system is provided for processing a print job. A processing unit, such as a server, receives a plurality of print job files. Each print job file is associated with a data file. The print job files are maintained in a queue of print job files. The processing unit selects a print job file in the queue and processes a data structure indicating a plurality of transform processes and the availability of each indicated transform process to process a data file. The processing unit selects an available transform process, such as a RIP process, in response to processing the data structure and indicates in the data structure that the selected transform process is unavailable. The transform process processes the data file associated with the selected print job to generate a printer supported output data stream.
