1. A system for intelligent queuing of documents for processing thereof comprising:
- means adapted for receiving status information from each of a plurality of associated networked document processing devices, which status information is representative of device availability associated which each associated networked document processing devices;
means adapted for communicating the status information to at least one associated user interface;
means adapted for receiving selection data from the at least one associated user interface, which selection data is representative of a selected one of the plurality of networked document processing devices; and
routing means adapted for routing electronic document data to the selected one of the plurality of networked document devices in accordance with the selection data.
