Abstract
Systems and corresponding methods that facilitate printing and controlling the printing process for multiple documents on a printing apparatus are provided. Multiple users may select a document for printing by interacting with control menus available at the printing site. In one embodiment, a printing system for processing one or more print requests includes: a print queue for storing data associated with one or more print requests, the print requests stored in a queue in the order received; a display screen for displaying the content of the print queue; control interface for controlling the processing order of the print requests in the queue; and executable code stored in a memory, wherein execution of the code by a processor causes the processor to process the print requests stored in the queue in response to user interaction with the control interface.
