A peripheral device preprocessor in which jobs conforming to a source protocol, e.g., a source graphical image description language, are accepted and processed to form new jobs according to a target protocol, e.g., a target graphical image description language. Jobs, which are formed according to the source protocol, are submitted by a client computer to the peripheral preprocessor. The peripheral preprocessor processes the job according to the source protocol to produce a bit-mapped image. The bit-mapped image is processed by the peripheral preprocessor to form a new job according to the target protocol. The new job is then submitted to a peripheral device which processes jobs according to the target protocol. In this way, a job is submitted according to a source protocol and is ultimately processed by the peripheral device according to a different, target protocol.
