Abstract

A method of cost-effective printing control for printing a variety of documents or images in color. An operator is notified whether printing is enabled as well as of the residual amounts of two or more printing agents. Printing data, including both character printing and graphics commands, is created for a given object to be printed. The amounts of each printing agent required for a given object is predicted and the object is printing if the quantities of all printing agents exceed their respective predicted amounts. No printing occurs and the printing operator is alerted if the amount of any one printing agent is below the amount predicted for that agent.
