Printing system and methods for dynamically configured conflict checking in printing operations

A printing system comprising:

• a first printing device including a first print engine;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed on the processor, configure the printing system to
• set a plurality of configurable attributes related to printing operations at the first printing device;
• define a first plurality of printing device configuration settings for the first printing device based on the plurality of configurable attributes, wherein the first plurality of printing device configuration settings relate to the first print engine of the first printing device;
• modify the first plurality of printing device configuration settings based on a conflict with at least one of the plurality of configurable attributes determined by a conflicts engine within the DFE of the first printing device, wherein the conflict is determined locally at the DFE of the first printing device with the conflicts engine;
• store the first plurality of printing device configuration settings in a first device capabilities file at the DFE of the first printing device;
• and
• provide the first plurality of printing device configuration settings using the first device capabilities file during the printing operations at the first printing device.
