    Abstract: Methods and systems herein provide for estimating when the print quality of a printer is expected to decrease below a threshold based on a function of change in the print quality of the printer. In one embodiment, a system calculates a plurality of print quality measurements based on pages printed by a printer. The system determines a function of change of the print quality of the printer that is based on changes in the print quality measurements. The system estimates when the print quality of the printer is expected to decrease below a threshold based on the function of change in the print quality of the printer. The system then provides the estimate to a print operator.
