Abstract
A system includes an estimator to analyze an input file that describes a print job, to analyze local feedback data that describes local capacity to process the print job by a local print preprocessor, and to analyze remote feedback data that describes remote capacity to process the print job by a cloud-based print preprocessor, wherein the estimator determines a time estimate for the local print preprocessor or the cloud-based print preprocessor to process the print job based on the analyzed input file, the analyzed local feedback data, or the analyzed remote feedback data. A scheduler receives the time estimate from the estimator to determine whether to route the print job to the local print preprocessor or the cloud-based print preprocessor to process the print job.
