Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of operating a printing system including determining a time of a print problem, accessing a database containing a timeline of print-related attribute changes, modifying one or more print-related attributes, and resubmitting print jobs. In another embodiment, a method of operating a printing system involves storing sets of print-related attributes in a settings repository, the stored sets being available for use in processing future print jobs. Corresponding printing systems also are disclosed. The methods and systems can be used to improve the efficiency and/or quality of high volume printing operations.

Abstract: When a user submits a printer ready application or print job to a networked printing device, the print job is sent to the destination printer through a print driver. In a busy production or office environment, print jobs enter a print queue and are printed in the order they are received. The systems and methods of this disclosure include a user name/password as a job attribute on a job ticket to be sent along with the print job as an attribute for controlling/allowing the viewing and/or release of print jobs at a print server.
