Abstract
A system and method of managing print services provided by a print provider includes defining a network communication link between the print provider and a print managing system controller having the print services provided by the print provider registered therewith. The print managing system controller receives a job ticket for a print job and compares the job ticket with the print services provided by the print provider to determine if the print provider has the print services to fulfill the print job. If the print managing system controller determines that the print provider has the print services to fulfill the print job, the print managing system controller distributes the job ticket for the print job to the print provider via the network communication link.
