Methods and apparatus for generating and utilizing a device capability file and a device PostScript table for processing JDF job tickets within a printing system. Features and aspects hereof generate a device capability file and a device PostScript table from information in a printer description file and a mapping file. The device capability file is used to generate JDF job tickets. The device PostScript table is used in the printing system to translate a JDF job ticket into corresponding device command strings. Constraint information may be generated from the printer description and mapping files and used to validate the JDF job ticket. The constraint information may be integral with the device capability file and/or with the device PostScript table. JDF job tickets may be validated as they are generated, and/or just prior to transmission to the printing system, and/or as part of the job ticket processing within the printing system.
