<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an energy-aware print job management. <P>SOLUTION: In a printing system and method for processing print jobs in a network of printers, each printer has high and low operational states (e.g., preparation completion mode/warm-up mode and standby mode). A job ticket is associated with each print job. The job ticket designates one of the network printers as a target printer for printing the job and includes print job parameters related to redirection and delay for the print job. Where the target printer for the print job is in the low operational state, the print job related redirection and delay parameters for the job are identified. Based on the identified parameters, the print job may be scheduled for at least one of redirection and delay, where the parameters for redirection/delay permit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
