Methods and printing system for enhanced job submission in a printing system

A method for submitting a print job within a printing system, the method comprising:

• receiving a file for a print job through a user interface for a digital front end (DFE) of a first printing device;
• uploading the file for the print job within the printing system;
• defining a subset of print ticket settings of a plurality of print ticket settings based on tracked usage of the plurality of print ticket settings;
• generating a simplified user interface corresponding to the DFE during the uploading of the file for the print job to the DFE, wherein the simplified user interface includes the defined subset of print ticket settings for the print job;
• receiving at least one print ticket setting of the defined subset of print ticket settings within the simplified user interface to apply to the print job;
• and
• releasing the print job for printing operations by the DFE upon receipt of the at least one print ticket setting and upload of the file for the print job.

A printing system comprising:

• a first printing device having a digital front end (DFE);
• and
• a user interface connected to the DFE,
• wherein the DFE includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed on the processor, configures the DFE to
• receive a file for a print job through the user interface;
• upload the file for the print job;
• display a simplified user interface corresponding to the DFE during the uploading of the file for the print job to the DFE, wherein the simplified user interface includes a defined subset of print ticket settings for the print job;
• receive at least one print ticket setting of the defined subset of print ticket settings within the simplified user interface to apply to the print job;
• and
• release the print job for printing operations by the DFE upon receipt of the at least one print ticket setting and upload of the file for the print job.
