A system comprising a host processor and a raster image processor (RIP). The host processor is to determine whether each page in a multi-page document contains color, partition a print job into a plurality of print sub-jobs, and determine a separate configuration for the RIP for each print sub-job.

Raster image processor configuration determination based on per page color determination

In one embodiment, data indicative of a measurement of resource utilization at a computer during a rasterization event is received. The data is compared to a database associating resource utilizations with commands to increment or decrement raster application instances executing in the event. Responsive to determining the data is associated with a command to increment or decrement an instance in the event, a first instance is incremented or decremented according to the command.
