Spooling is an acronym for Simultaneous
Peripheral Operations On-Line. It refers to the process of loading
documents into a buffer (usually an area on a hard drive) until the
printer is ready. This allows users to place multiple print jobs into
a queue and print them in the background instead of waiting for each
one to finish. The Print Spooler is the Printer Managing Function and
its support components are integrated into a single print-processing
architecture.
Setup (Configuring)
The Print Spooler is installed in Windows when the Printing Services
and printer are installed. The Print Spooler sends print data to the
printer. The data is only moved to the printer when it is ready. The
settings can be changed through the "My Computer" icon on
the desktop or through the Printers option under the Start Menu
Setting tab.
