Managing Print Jobs in Windows 3.1

Your Windows printer software includes two management utilities:

the Spool Manager and Despooler.

◗ The Spool Manager starts automatically when you send a job to

the printer. It allows you to print in the background while you

continue to work on your computer and to hold jobs to print at a

later time. If you’re using your printer on a network, it also

handles multiple print jobs that come in at the same time. See

the next section for details.

◗ The Despooler also starts automatically when you send a job to

the printer. It displays on your screen to provide printer status

information. See Checking Printer Status for details on the

Despooler.

Using the Spool Manager

The Spool Manager works like the Windows Print Manager. When

you send a job to your printer, your printer software creates a

temporary print job file, stores it in the C:\TEMP or

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP directory, and assigns it to a print queue. The

software then sends the file to your printer at the right time.
