1. A computing device comprising:
one or more processors communicably coupled with a printing apparatus, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive, from the printing apparatus, data pertaining to each heating element in a first set of heating elements, wherein the first set of heating elements are located in a print head of the printing apparatus;
create a print job based on data to be printed;
analyze the print job, based on the received data pertaining to each heating element and the data to be printed, to identify whether printing of the print job will lead to overutilization of the first set of heating elements; and
modify the print job if it is determined that the printing of the print job will lead to overutilization of the first set of heating elements.
