  • Publication number: 20250244922
    Abstract: System, method, and software of a cloud printing service. In an embodiment, a cloud print mediator is communicatively coupled to a cloud printing service and to a printer. The cloud print mediator is configured to receive a print job from the cloud printing service, submit the print job to the printer, receive status messages from the printer regarding processing of the print job, identify throttling criteria that defines one or more conditions where status notifications are allowed to be reported to the cloud printing service, and perform 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.

  • Patent number: 9491324
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically splitting multi-copy print jobs across a printer pool represented by a virtual printer. The system includes a print server, and the print server includes an interface and a controller. The interface is able to present a pool of multiple printers as a virtual printer, and to receive a multi-copy print job directed to the virtual printer. The controller is able to identify printers from the pool that are available for printing the print job, to split the print job into multiple child jobs that each include a separate copy of print data for the print job, and to queue the child jobs at the available printers.

  • Patent number: 8531706
    Abstract: The systems and methods presented herein provide for delivery of a set of capabilities that encompasses system-level capabilities and device capabilities via a print protocol of a physical printer. For example, a printer object may respond to a print protocol request for capabilities of a physical printer with a set of capabilities that differs from the actual capabilities of the physical printer than would be typically delivered in response to such a request. The printer object comprises the capabilities of the physical printer. The capabilities of the physical printer are accessible via the print protocol of the physical printer. The printer object processes a request from the client system via the print protocol and in turn provides a set of capabilities that is different from the capabilities of the physical printer in response to the request.
