Spooling - definition of Spooling in Encyclopedia (199 words)
In computer science, spooling is an acronym for simultaneous peripheral operations on-line (although this is thought by some to be a backronym).
In print spooling, documents are loaded into a buffer (usually an area on a disk), and then the printer pulls them off the buffer at its own rate.
Spooling also lets users place a number of print jobs on a queue instead of waiting for each one to finish before specifying the next one.

It can also refer to a storage device that incorporates a physical spool, such as a tape drive.
