Summary: | A method and apparatus of providing a level of priority for printing a document in a company having a plurality of departments, which includes receiving a print job for printing at least one document. A department is determined from the plurality of departments which sent the print job, and a priority is assigned to the print job based on the determined department. After the print job has been printed, a print amount is determined from the determined department during a fixed time interval. The priority assigned to the determined department is lowered if the print amount exceeds a threshold value. |
