Throttling notifications to cloud printing service

A method comprising:

• at a cloud print mediator configured to interface one or more printers with a cloud printing service, the cloud print mediator on-premises with a printer and directly connected to the printer, and communicatively coupled to the cloud printing service over a network:
• receiving a print job from the cloud printing service;
• submitting the print job to the printer;
• receiving status messages from the printer regarding processing of the print job;
• identifying throttling criteria that defines one or more conditions where status notifications are allowed to be reported to the cloud printing service;
• and
• performing status notification throttling based on the throttling criteria to regulate the status notifications reported to the cloud printing service in response to the status messages received from the printer.
