1. A method of printing simple data within a complex datastream, the method comprising: receiving the complex datastream for processing, wherein the complex datastream includes simple data in a non-complex page description language (PDL) format and a copy of the simple data in a complex PDL format; processing the complex datastream to embed at least one control structure in the complex datastream, wherein the at least one control structure indicates to a raster image processor a location of the simple data in the non-complex PDL format; determining if the raster image processor recognizes the at least one control structure in the complex datastream; and processing the complex datastream by the raster image processor to generate a printable format by: converting the simple data in the non-complex PDL format to the printable format responsive to the raster image processor recognizing the at least one control structure; and converting the simple data in the complex PDL format to the printable format responsive to the raster image processor not recognizing the at least one control structure.

The method of claim 1 wherein processing the complex datastream to embed at least one control structure further comprises: analyzing the complex data stream using the raster image processor to determine whether the simple data in the non-complex PDL format exists; and wherein processing the complex datastream to generate the printable format further includes: extracting and rasterizing the simple data in the non-complex PDL format if the simple data in the non-complex PDL format exists.
