Abstract
A method starts when a print job is received from a workstation. The print job includes an identification of an initial printer. The method ranks the abilities of the available printers to process the print job to identify the best printer for the print job. If the initial printer is not ranked as the best printer, the method presents a question/statement to the workstation (to the user through the workstation) regarding whether to redirect the print job to the best printer.
