A device around which thread, wire or cable is wound, especially a cylinder or spindle
: To send files to some device or program (a "spooler" or demon) that puts them in a queue for later processing of some kind. Without qualification, the spooler is the "print spooler" controlling output of jobs to a printer; but the term has been used in connection with other peripherals (especially plotters and graphics devices) and occasionally even for input devices
When you try to print more than one photo in succession any unprinted pictures are held in this queue waiting to be printed
To send a file (or other data) to a queue Generally used in conjunction with printers, but might also be used for other things (mail for example) The term is reported to be an acronym for ``Simultaneous Peripheral Operation On-Line'', but according to the Jargon File it may have been a backronym (something made up later for effect)
To send files to a device or program (called a spooler or daemon) that puts them in a queue for later processing The print spooler controls output of jobs to a printer Other devices, such as plotters and input devices, can have spoolers
a simple device generally used in cave diving that holds line but has no moving parts, therefore less failure points
A grouping of objects All objects in a spool must be contiguous and connected to each other

The first step in printing, in which the printer software converts the print data into codes that your printer understands This data is then sent directly to the printer or to the print server
To temporarily store a print job on the hard drive, then transfer it to the printer at the slower pace required by the printer
A circular container on which wire is wound for storage or transit, normally refers to sizes smaller than 18" diameter
A piece of cane or red with a knot at each end, or a hollow cylinder of wood with a ridge at each end, used to wind thread or yarn upon
Simultaneous Peripheral Operation On-Line To perform a peripheral operation while the computer is busy with other work The most common use of spooling is with the printer; files are sent to the print spooler, which organizes a queue and then prints one file after another
a winder around which thread or tape or film or other flexible materials can be wound
(Simultaneous Peripheral Operation On-Line) - A program or piece of hardware that controls data going to an output device
