Method and system for automatically recommending rules based on desired print criteria

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to said processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, said non-transitory computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for:
• arranging a print governance application with respect to a rendering server to analyze a plurality of rendering jobs submitted within a specified time period by considering a plurality of attributes associated with each rendering job in order to collect a rendering data;
• providing a print criterion in order to manage behavior of said plurality of rendering jobs;
• and
• analyzing said rendering data to dynamically create at least one rule by a rules engine in order to achieve a desired level of print reduction based on said print criterion thereby reducing an output cost and lowering paper wastage.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium, said non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, the code comprising code to:

• configure a print governance application with respect to a rendering server to analyze a plurality of rendering jobs submitted within a specified time period by considering a plurality of attributes associated with each rendering job in order to collect a rendering data;
• utilize a print criterion to manage behavior of said plurality of rendering jobs;
• and
• analyze said rendering data to dynamically create at least one rule by a rules engine in order to achieve a desired level of print reduction based on said print criterion thereby reducing an output cost and lowering paper wastage.
