At least one processing message is sent from the job manager (12) to at least one respective component (14a, 14b, 14c, or 14d). Another aspect is a relational job request queue (318) preferably for digital imaging devices (310). At least one parent queue data store is created for storing a plurality of parent queue records (106) and at least one child queue data store is created for storing a plurality of child queue records wherein each child queue records (108)wherein each child queue record comprises a parent record identifier data store.
