A system for controlling printing of a print job in a printing system is provided. In practice, a first value corresponding with a first proposed number of prints to be produced with the printing system is stored in a memory communicating with the controller. When use of the first value for printing the print job would cause the copyright royalty to exceed a selected threshold, the controller changes the first value corresponding with the first proposed number of prints to be produced to a second value corresponding with a second proposed number of prints to be produced. Additionally, when a selected condition is met the controller uses the second value corresponding with the second proposed number of prints to be produced to control the number of prints produced by the printing system.
