Abstract
A system and method are provided for selectively emulating printer job processes. The method comprises: receiving a print job from a source; determining a match between received print job commands and default print job commands; mapping non-matching received print job commands to default print job commands; and, printing the print job using an modified set of received print job commands. The job may be printed using a combination of mapped default and received print job commands. The match between received print job commands and default print job commands may be determined by identifying a source print driver identity. The source print driver can be identified in response to parsing PJL commands received with the print job. Then, the method selects a table in response to determining the source print driver identity and accesses the selected table for default print job commands that have been cross-referenced to received print job commands.
