Word origin

The term 'spooler' originates from the word 'spool', which refers to a cylindrical device on which flexible materials are wound. In computing, the notion of 'spooling' emerged in the 1960s and 1970s with the advent of time-sharing systems and printers. Spooling combines 'Simultaneous Peripheral Operations Online', indicating that data is processed while it is being sent to output devices, such as printers. This technique allows effective resource management by enabling users to submit jobs to a printer without waiting for the task to complete, thus increasing overall efficiency in printing operations.
