Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing print jobs on a printing device having at least one named print queue and a special residual print queue. Print jobs sent to a printer that are targeted for a print queue name that has not been defined for the printer are collected in the residual print queue. Print jobs are received, and print jobs having a print queue designation that matches a named print queue in the printing device are forwarded to the designated print queue. Print jobs having a print queue designation that does not match a named print queue in the printing device are forwarded to the residual print queue, and print jobs forwarded to the residual print queue are then printed.
