Claim:
1. A printing system comprising: a printing engine, said printing engine performing printing using rasterized-type data; a printing processor operatively connected to said printing engine; and a user interface operatively connected to said printing processor, said printing processor receiving print job instructions to combine variable printing information and fixed data form to build a print job to be printed using said printing engine, said variable printing information comprising unrasterized-type data, said fixed data form comprising said rasterized-type data, said printing processor evaluating said print job instructions to determine whether a configuration of said variable printing information is compatible with a configuration of said fixed data form, said user interface displaying a non-compatibility message that said fixed data form is not compatible and displaying menu options for alternative fixed data forms that have a configuration that is compatible with said configuration of said variable printing information based on said configuration of said variable printing information not being compatible with said configuration of said fixed data form, and said printing processor converting said variable printing information from said unrasterized-type data to said rasterized-type data only if said configuration of said variable printing information is compatible with said configuration of said fixed data form.
