Detailed explanation-1: -The operating system manages printing and spooling by organising data that is waiting to be printed into a queue. Once the printer becomes available the operating system releases the next data from the queue and prints it. This means that other user and system tasks can continue while the data is in the queue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Spooling is a process in which data is temporarily held to be used and executed by a device, program or the system. Data is sent to and stored in memory or other volatile storage until the program or computer requests it for execution.
Detailed explanation-3: -The operating system (OS) manages all of the software and hardware on the computer. It performs basic tasks such as file, memory and process management, handling input and output, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.
