Problem or Use Case

When I go to sleep I don't want my printer printing, but I do want to add a large number of tasks to the queue.

Proposed Solution

It would be great if the printer automatically decides if the next print should take place based on the print time and remaining up-time. You could even look further into the queue for a print that does fit.

e.g: given this queue:

  • 4h print, 3h print, 1h print, 6h print

It's 9 PM and I would like to have my printer not printing from 11 PM - 7 AM. The next print would not be finished at 11 PM and should therefor not be printed. The second print also doesn't fit, but the third one does. I would like to automatically select that print for printing. After that the printer should shut off and start the first print at 7 AM.

I would like to add that I was interested in something similar but not exactly the same. Basically, to schedule the largest multi hour print to fit in a block of time. So when I go to sleep, or work, I want the queue to try to queue up a 6 or 8 hour print to line up with when i wake up/get home and maximize print time.
