Systems and methods for managing the execution of print jobs

摘要

The illustrative embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for managing the execution of print jobs. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a print job associated with a set of print job parameters. The print job is sent from a computing device associated with a user. The method includes accessing a set of user parameters associated with the user, and determining a print job priority for the print job using the set of print job parameters and the set of user parameters. The method includes identifying a destination printer capable of executing the print job using the set of print job parameters. The method also includes initiating execution of the print job at the destination printer in response to determining to execute the print job based on the print job priority.

1. A method, comprising:
determining a print job priority for a print job using a set of print job parameters and a set of user parameters; receiving a confirmation that the print job is executed at a destination printer; and responsive to receiving the confirmation, initiating a notification on a computing device that the print job is executed; wherein the determining the print job priority comprises:
assigning a respective weight to each of the set of print job parameters and each of the set of user parameters;multiplying a respective numeric value for each of the set of print job parameters and each of the set of user parameters with the respective weight for each of the set of print job parameters and each of the set of user parameters to form a set of weighted values;summating the set of weighted values to form a weighted total;determining a cumulative utility factor; anddividing the weighted total by the cumulative utility factor to form the print job priority.
