ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for adjusting print queues to obtain more efficient printing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system and method for adjusting a print queue pertain to detecting proximity of a user to the printing device, determining if the user has any outstanding print jobs, and adjusting a print queue for the printing device if it is determined that the user does have an outstanding print job. By way of example, adjusting the queue can include one or more of interrupting a current print job so that the user's print job can be printed, elevating the user's print job in the order of the queue, and adding the user's print job from another queue to the queue for the printing device.
