Abstract
A controller for a multi-roll printer, a printing system with such a printer and such a controller and a method for controlling such a printer are provided. A user may assign print jobs directly to one of the rolls by assigning graphical representations the print jobs to regions corresponding to those rolls in a GUI. The user may also assign print jobs to a region in the GUI that is not associated with any particular roll, as a result of which each image of said print job is individually assigned automatically to at least one of the rolls.
