A method and apparatus for printing with a printer includes detecting an errant page condition, and interrupting a print job in response to the possible errant page condition. An errant page condition can be the monitoring the printer for any waste of a consumable that will increase the cost per page to print. The cost per errant page can be approximated, and when the approximated cost per errant page is above a selected threshold level, the print job is interrupted. A list of options is then presented to a user interface to allow the user to select a course of action. A printing apparatus implements this method. The controller is programmed to interrupt the print job and present the options to the user interface.

A method for printing includes estimating ink usage for printing with a first color scheme and a second color scheme, and selecting between the first color scheme and the second color scheme for printing according to the estimating of the ink usage. An apparatus includes a first sensor to measure a level of a first ink, a second sensor to measure a level of a second ink, and a processor coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor and configured to estimate usage of the first ink and the second ink using a first color scheme and a second color scheme and configured to select the first color scheme or the second color scheme for use in printing according to the estimate of the usage of the first ink and the second ink.
