ABSTRACT:
A network connects plural computer systems to plural printers. A program of each computer system generates data supplied to at least one printer. A print spooler of each computer system stores the print data. Each printer comprises a daemon and local memory. A data control module monitors, via the network, data relating to a print job stored on a computer system and job timing information relating to preferred time for processing the print job. The daemon retrieves a copy of the data when the network becomes available to transfer the data, and stores the print data on the local memory. The retrieval and storage operations occur before the time specified in the job timing information. When the network traffic is low each printer locally stores data that are retrieved and stored prior to the time specified in the job timing information.
