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.
