  • Controlling a printing system using the print queue
    Patent number: 6863455
    Abstract: A method of managing a printing system in which print jobs are disposed with a print queue, wherein a so-called “acting object”, is provided within the print queue to behave as a separate job, and is operative for specifying one or more system commands, without further specifying a actual print job. When the acting object reaches the top of the print queue, its system command is executed. Examples of such system commands are an interruption of the print queue processing or a change of default printing and/or printer parameters.
