  • Apparatus and methods for distributing print jobs
    Patent number: 7466441
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for distributing print jobs. A print job is generated at an application node of a network, and has associated therewith print parameters. The print job is routed to a distribution node on the network. The parameters are then parsed from the generated print job and the print job parameterized with predetermined metrics that are a function of at least one of the parsed parameters. The parameterized print job is then routed to a destination device on a destination node on the network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 16, 2008
    Assignee: Electronics for Imaging, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Barry, Jeffrey Pitts Dockman, Kevin John O'Neill, Jr., Robert Gregory Pennington, Michael David Raines, Matthew David Shumaker, Elliot Neal Tompkins
