Wizards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows XP, uses wizards, for step by step process of creating or configuring something. For example, the Add printer Wizard to set up a new printer to PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printer Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you print something from an application, a Windows printer driver (Printer Control Program) for the current printer formats the material to be printed to a form understood by the printer and sends it to the printer and then the printer prints it. Each installed printer has a printer driver in the Window XP printer folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spooling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows also provides spooling. It means that your PC stores document data on disk until the printer can accept it. When you print a document from an application, the information to be printed is stored temporarily in the queue (storage for print jobs) until it can be printed. If you print a long document to a slow printer, spooling lets you continue working with your application while the printer works. (\u201cSpool\u201d stands for simultaneous Printer Operation On-Line).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
