Abstract: Provision is made for identifying selected pages of a document to be automatically sent for printing to one of two or more printing devices. As an example, specific pages can be flagged for printing on a color device while remaining pages stay in default mode, which could be pre-selected as a particular black and white printing device. Upon submission of the job for printing, black images are automatically sent to the black and white device while color pages are sent to a specified color device. The original job remains intact and particular page level settings remain with the job for future use.
