System and method for processing distributed print jobs

A system, method, program product and data structure for processing a print job distributed between the printer and at least one ancillary printer device. In accordance with the method of the present invention an ancillary device presentation container is received by a print server interface. The presentation container includes an object area field containing object area data and a print data field containing print data. The print server interface converts the ancillary device presentation container into one or more printer commands to be delivered to and processed by a main printer. As part of converting the ancillary device presentation container, the presentation container is identified as having a presentation space mapping specified as an ancillary device interface mapping. In response to identifying the presentation container as having a specified ancillary device interface mapping, printer commands are generated directing the printer to render the object area data and to defer rendering the print data to an ancillary printer device.
