CONFIGURATION OF PRINT DATA FOR PRINT JOBS BASED ON DOCUMENT-PROCESSING CAPABILITIES OF PRINTERS

摘要

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the execution of a print job. During operation, the system obtains a set of document-processing capabilities from a printer associated with the print job and obtains print data for the print job. Next, the system selects a set of document attributes for the print job based on the document-processing capabilities and the print data, wherein the set of document attributes comprises a document format and a document size. Finally, the system configures the print data to conform to the document attributes to enable processing of the print job by the printer.
