ABSTRACT:
A system and method of brokering a print job between a customer and a plurality of print providers includes defining a network communication link between the customer and a print brokering system controller having a printing capability of each of the print providers registered therewith. The print brokering system controller compares a print request for the print job with the printing capability of each of the print providers and determines which of the print providers have the printing capability to fulfill the print request. As such, the print brokering system controller compiles a list of the print providers which have the printing capability to fulfill the print request.
