Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are disclosed. The method includes, during printing of a print data stream by a print engine, determining whether a graphical user interface has received an instruction representing an operator interrupt and, responsive to determining that the graphical user interface has received the instruction representing the operator interrupt, determining whether a command for a test print operation has been received from the graphical user interface. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the command for the test print operation has been received from the graphical user interface, performing a print of operator test samples and, responsive to determining that the command for the test print operation has been received from the graphical user interface, invoking a non-process runout function to suspend printing of the print data stream by the print engine.
