Abstract
Example systems and related methods may relate to distributed printing. A client device associated with a plurality of candidate print devices can receive a request for distributed printing. The client device can determine a plurality of print devices from among the plurality of candidate print devices. Each print device in the plurality of print devices can be configured to service at least part of the request for distributed printing. The client device can determine a plurality of print job portions that collectively satisfy the request for distributed printing. Then, for each designated print device of the plurality of print devices, the client device can: allocate one or more print job portions to the designated print device and provide the allocated one or more print job portions to the designated print device.
