Methods and systems for print-processor modified printing

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention comprise methods and systems which enable a user to distribute print tasks to a plurality of printing devices without the use of additional hardware for this purpose. These systems and methods are typically used in conjunction with a computer network comprising at least one computing device and a plurality of printing devices. Printing tasks which are typically sent to a single printing device may be distributed to multiple printing devices to increase printing speed, volume and/or capacity. This distribution capability can be achieved without the use of additional hardware and firmware and without modification to software applications.
