ABSTRACT:
A networked environment for sharing an image processing load for a rendering job and associated method is disclosed. In one embodiment, the networked environment includes: an image source device, a first image processing device, a network for data communications, and a second image processing device. The second image processing device is spaced apart from the first image processing device. The first image processing device includes a first image processing resource and a rendering resource. The second image processing device includes a second image processing resource. The first image processing device receives a rendering job from the image source device for rendering. The rendering job requires image processing prior to such rendering. A portion of the image processing required for the rendering job is performed by the second image processing resource. The rendering resource renders the rendering job when image processing is complete.
