Abstract:
1. A method to enable device independent adaptation of print jobs comprising: receiving a print job having a device dependent print job header and page description language body image data; parsing the print job to delineate device dependent print job header and page description language body image data, the delineated device dependent print job header including print job header commands; determining if a print job header command, from the delineated device dependent print job header, can be realized in a page description language specific language; generating, when it is determined that the print job header command can be realized in a page description language specific language, a device independent page description language specific language commands corresponding to the print job header command; redacting the print job header command, when a corresponding device independent page description language specific language command has been generated, from the print job; embedding the device independent page description language specific language command into the page description language body image data of the redacted print job to create a device independent page description language only print job; and sending the device independent page description language only print job to a print system.
