Abstract
A printing system includes an estimation system that provides estimates for ink or toner use for a print job at a target printing device. The estimation system retrieves digital job settings, digital front end (DFE) configuration settings, and printing device configuration settings from the target printing device. The estimate for recurring printing operations is stored at the estimation system. As printing instances occur, the estimation system retrieves the estimate along with its associated settings and compares them to current settings applicable at the printing device. Any difference between defined settings and current settings is resolved prior to printing the document. Job costing information also is generated for this instance of printing and provided to the estimation system.
