Methods and systems herein provide for recovering from an out of storage condition at a rip spool (114,116) for storing raster data. In one embodiment, a print controller (304) receives a command to print multiple copies of a print job. The print controller (304) buffers for rasterization multiple copies of print data for the print job, and determines if a rip spool (114,116) has storage space available to store a complete rasterized version of the print job. If the rip spool (114,116) does not have storage space available, then the print controller (304) performs a rasterization process on the multiple copies of the print data for the print job, and provides multiple rasterized copies of the print job to a print engine (118). If the rip spool (114,116) has storage space available, then the print controller (304) performs a rasterization process on one copy of the print job and discards additional buffered copies of the print data. |
