Abstract
A system and method for optimizing print job scheduling includes a print job scheduler that determines an optimized print job schedule for a document processing device based on the workload of the document processing device and user scheduled print jobs. The print job scheduler selectively prioritizes print jobs in the print queue of e document processing device in accordance with the optimal print job schedule, for example prioritizing shorter print jobs over longer print jobs, or delaying printing of a larger print job during busy time slots. The print job scheduler uses machine learning to determine busy times slots based on historical usage patterns and optimizes the print job schedule based on the workload of the document processing device, identity of the user, and the size of the print job.
