Abstract
A method for pre-rendering a print job to a print-ready document format in a print system comprising a plurality of print devices. The method may include receiving a print job from a user via a mobile electronic device and predicting at least one print device in the print system that the user may use for printing the print job. The prediction is based on at least one of the following: user activity data relating to printing in the print system by the user, print device information relating to the plurality of print devices, user information received from the mobile electronic device, or a plurality of print job criteria provided by the user. The method may further include recommending at least one print-ready document format that the at least one print device may use for printing the print job, and pre-rendering the print job to the recommended at least one print-ready document format.
