Abstract

In a method for operating the print server, a spooling priority print job is determined which, among the spooling print jobs, has the highest printing priority and has not yet been stored in the print data cache memory. A print job size of the spooling priority print job is determined. A free capacity of the print data cache memory is also determined. One or more print jobs that are not currently being printed from the print data cache memory are deleted until the free capacity of the print data cache memory is equal to or greater than the size of the spooling priority print job, where the printing priority of the print job to be deleted is lower than the printing priority of the spooling priority print job. The spooling priority print job is then loaded into the print data cache memory.
