The illustrative embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for managing the execution of print jobs. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a print job associated with a set of print job parameters. The print job is sent from a computing device associated with a user. The method includes accessing a set of user parameters associated with the user, and determining a print job priority for the print job using the set of print job parameters and the set of user parameters. The method includes identifying a destination printer capable of executing the print job using the set of print job parameters. The method also includes initiating execution of the print job at the destination printer in response to determining to execute the print job based on the print job priority.

There is provided a printing apparatus including: a main control circuit; and sub-control circuits connected in series to each other and configured to transmit print data, the sub-control circuits including at least a downstream-most sub-control circuit and an upstream-most sub-control circuit connected to the main control circuit. Each of at least one sub-control circuit, included in the sub-control circuits and other than the downstream-most sub-control circuit is configured to: store information indicating one of transmitting methods of the print data, the transmitting methods including a transmitting method by which the one of the sub-control circuits having received the print data transmits entirety of the print data received downstream; and transmit the print data downstream, by the one of the transmitting methods indicated by the information, in a case where the print data is received.

A print control system includes a processor configured to: acquire environmental information on an environment where a printer is installed; set an inspection level responsive to the acquired environmental information on an inspection apparatus that inspects a printed material on the printer; calculate an inspection speed when the inspection apparatus inspects the printed material at the inspection level set on the inspection apparatus; and control the printer such that printing is performed at a print speed responsive to the calculated inspection speed.
