Abstract

A computer-implemented method of controlling the creation of a printed document includes the steps of: retrieving print information for generating a print job, said print information specifying characteristics of a document to be printed; retrieving at least one attribute of a print finishing device, said attribute defining a constraint imposed on the print job for printing said document, when the printed document is processed in said print finishing device; and generating a print job based on said print information and said constraint. In one example, retrieving said at least one attribute of a print finishing device includes establishing a communication link to said print finishing device and prompting the print finishing device to transmit the at least one attribute. Said communication link can be established and used on-line at the time of generating the print job or in advance.
