Systems and methods are provided for printer controller, dynamic N-UP print job imaging. An enhanced printer includes features hereof to dynamically adjust parameters of a print job at any point in a print job. In one aspect hereof, the printer configures a print job for an initial set of printing parameters without host system intervention and may reconfigure those parameters during printing of the print job. In another aspect hereof, the adjustments may include adjusting the relative position of any of the N-UP images independent of any other of the N-UP images. Another aspect hereof provides that the formatting of the print job according to printing parameters by the printer occurs after rasterizing the print job into logical page images. Since the formatting is performed after rasterizing, the printing parameters may be changed at any time during printing of the print job.

Printer controlled dynamically altered N-UP imaging

Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture wherein device configuration information is stored in a shared library. An application programming interface is provided to allow a plurality of page description language interpreters to access the device configuration information stored in the shared library. At least one of the plurality of page description language interpreters accesses the device configuration information stored in the shared library by calling the application programming interface.
