Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automatically splitting multi-copy print jobs across a printer pool represented by a virtual printer. The system includes a print server, and the print server includes an interface and a controller. The interface is able to present a pool of multiple printers as a virtual printer, and to receive a multi-copy print job directed to the virtual printer. The controller is able to identify printers from the pool that are available for printing the print job, to split the print job into multiple child jobs that each include a separate copy of print data for the print job, and to queue the child jobs at the available printers.
