1. A method for managing storage operations in a printing system, the method comprising:
enabling a storage connectivity manager at a digital front end (DFE);
creating a first storage connectivity module in the storage connectivity manager, wherein the first storage connectivity module corresponds to a first data storage of the DFE;
loading a plurality of application programming interfaces (APIs) at the storage connectivity manager to implement the first storage connectivity module;
installing the plurality of APIs to the first storage connectivity module, wherein the plurality of APIs provides interfaces within the first storage connectivity module to manage, handle, or transmit storable data within the DFE;
interacting with the first data storage of the DFE using the first storage connectivity module; and
providing the storable data to the first data storage.
