A printer includes a media storage device, a print engine and a media supply system for supplying print media from the media storage device to the print engine. The printer is arranged to print media-related information onto media that are left over in the media storage device after a print process. The media storage device includes a tray arranged for accommodating cut media sheets and having an auxiliary printer for printing the media-related information onto a sheet in the tray.

Printer with media storage device

The invention relates to a printing system for printing a print job on a receiving material with receiving material characteristics according to a print job ticket. The printing system comprises a print engine for providing marking material with marking material characteristics to the receiving material in order to form at least one image defined by the print job and a controller configured to control the print engine and to provide a first estimation of an amount of receiving material needed for a print job based on the print job ticket. A digital outcome storage is configured to store first waste amounts of receiving material during printing errors of print jobs. The controller is configured to retrieve from the digital outcome storage first waste amounts of receiving material with the same receiving material characteristics as of the print job and to use the retrieved first waste amounts of receiving material for increasing of the first estimation of the amount of receiving material needed by the print job.

Method of estimating a usage of printing materials for print jobs

The invention relates to a method of processing information with a system comprising at least two processing devices coupled to a network, in which method a job for processing information is defined by a user of the system, whereafter in respect of processing devices belonging to a predetermined set selected from the at least two processing devices, a check is automatically made whether the same are suitable for performing the job, whereafter each processing device of the set is presented to the user via presentation means, wherein for each of said processing devices an indication is given whether the same is suitable for performing the job, whereafter a processing device belonging to the set is selected, and at least a part of the job is transmitted to the selected processing device. The invention also relates to a system for processing information suitable for applying this method and a computer program element for an information processing system to perform this method.

Technology for processing information e.g. representing print requests in networked environment a system suitable for applying this method, and a computer program element comprising a program code for applying this method
