Abstract
A system for processing a print job stores the print job on a first device. A pointer is provided to a printing device, which notifies the printing device that the print job is waiting to be processed. The pointer also identifies the name and location of the print job stored on the first device. When the printing device is ready to process the print job, the printing device retrieves the print job from the first device using the pointer. Additionally, the printing device may retrieve a particular font prior to processing the print job.
