Abstract
Methods and arrangements are provided for use in a printer and associated computer(s). The printer is configured to overcome potential print job configuration errors by gathering current printer configuration status data with respect to the available print media and comparing the current print media to the requested print media to make decisions that are likely to provide the user with the appropriate print media. The methods and arrangements provide for additional print media handling capabilities associated with certain types of orientation-dependent print media and simplex and/or duplex printing requirements. The user is only asked to manually intervene when the print media is unavailable or cannot be readily determined from the print job. When this occurs, the additional configuration information that is gathered can be provided to the user to assist with the manual intervention.
