Claim Text:
1. A system comprising: a memory that identifies categories of print jobs, and that stores rules that indicate how often print jobs will be received at a presentation system; and a control unit operable to identify a rule for a category of print jobs, to analyze the rule to generate a predicted schedule of print jobs expected for receipt at the presentation system, to determine whether expected print jobs have been received at the presentation system in accordance with the schedule, and to generate an alert if an expected print job has not been received at the presentation system in accordance with the schedule, wherein the alert identifies print jobs in the predicted schedule that have not been received, wherein the control unit is further operable to determine that a print job identified in the alert has not been received for more than a defined length of time, to conclude that the predicted schedule was in error regarding the identified print job, and to create a revised alert that does not include the identified print job, responsive to making the conclusion.
