Abstract:
A system and method of distributing workflow in a document processing or other production environment determines a utilization percentage for each of a plurality of printing devices or other resources located in the production environment. For a first printing device, if the utilization percentage associated with the first printing device is below a threshold value, a request may be sent from the first printing device to a workflow distributor to obtain one or more unassigned jobs. If the request for the one or more unassigned jobs sent from the first printing device is received by the workflow distributor, the one or more unassigned jobs may be received at the first printing device.
