A method of printing multi-page documents with multiple raster-image processors (RIP's), the method comprising the steps of profiling the command stream complexities and resource dependencies of a series of pages to be printed. Then, associating a profile of the command stream complexities and resource dependencies of a series of pages to be printed with a printing command stream. And dispatching individual raster-image processor jobs for each of the pages to be printed to particular RIP's according to the profile. The step of dispatching is preferably such that the complexity estimates and the dependency list are used to minimize idle times for the RIP's. A further step of collecting is done in which the individual outputs of each raster-image processor are recombined into a page-ordered sequence for a print engine. |
