Abstract:
Provided are a print subsystem despooling backplane and a method for managing print jobs using a print subsystem despooling backplane. The method comprises: accepting a print job at a print subsystem despooling backplane input interface; calling a despooling backplane plugin; converting the print job into an internal representation (IR) document that is typically independent of a printer device target and the language format associated with a printer device target; processing the IR document in response to a plugin; converting the processed IR document into a processed print job; and, supplying the processed print job at a despooling backplane output interface. The called plugins can be user-selected plugins, predetermined plugins that are responsive to criterion such as printer driver, printer model, printer configuration, printer condition, user, administrative grouping, or document type, and plugins called from other (previously called or currently running) plugins.
