Systems and methods for managing the execution of print jobs

A method, comprising:

• determining a print job priority for a print job using print job parameters having assigned weight values and user parameters having assigned weight values, wherein the print job priority is a function of a total weight of the assigned weight values of the print job parameters and the user parameters, wherein the total weight is a summation of the assigned weight values of the print job parameters and the user parameters;
• identifying a destination printer is capable of fulfilling print job requirements identified in the print job parameters and the user parameters;
• and
• initiating execution of the print job at the destination printer based on the print job priority.

A system, comprising:

• a destination printer;
• and
• a processor communicably coupled to the destination printer;
• wherein the processor:
• determines a print job priority for a print job using print job parameters and user parameters each having assigned weight values, wherein the print job priority is a function of a total weight of the assigned weight values of the print job parameters and the user parameters, wherein the total weight is a summation of the assigned weight values of the print job parameters and the user parameters;
• identifying the destination printer is capable of fulfilling print job requirements identified in the print job parameters and the user parameters;
• and
• initiates execution of the print job at the destination printer based on the print job priority.
