My printer is spooling even though it's ready. What should i do?

Check the cables, check the power, make sure the printer is the default printer so your software isn't looking for another printer that isn't there anymore.

What is the meaning of spooling?
Spooling is putting jobs in a buffer area, whether in memory or on disk, where they can be accessed when a device is ready. For example, print jobs are spooled to a buffer to be printed when the printer is ready.
What is spooling in computer programming?
Spooling is basically a means of saving information that cannot be handled immediately. For instance, when printing a document, the document has to undergo a conversion process. This can often be a lengthy process when printing directly to the printer, thus a print spooler handles the actual conversion and queues your document ready for printing when the printer is ready. This allows you to continue working while the spooler works in the background.
How spooling work in operating system?
Spooling usually involves saving temporary data to memory or hard drive. A common use of spooling is to format a print job in the computer before sending it to the printer. The print spool holds data until the printer is ready to accept it.
What is spooling in Linux?
Spooling refers to a process of transfering data by placing it in temporary working area whereanother program may access it for processing at a later point in time. 'Spool ' can refer to theaction of a storage device that incorporates a physical spool or reel, such as tape drive.For eg:- A printer can serve only one job at a time, several applications may wish to print theiroutput concurrently, without having their output mixed together. The operating system solvesthis problem by intercepting all output to the printer. Each applications's output is Spooledto a separate disk file. When an application finishes printing, the spooling system queues thecorresponding spool file for output to the printer. The spooling system copies the queued spoolfiles to the printer one at a time.In some operating system, spooling is managed by a system daemon process. In other operatingsystems, it is handled by an in-kennel thread.In either case, the operating system provides a control interface that enables users and systemadministrators to display the queue, to remove unwanted jobs before those jobs print to suspendprinting while the printer is serviced, and so on.Some devices, such as tape drives and printers, cannot usefully multiplex the I/O requests ofmultiple concurrent applications. Spooling is one way that operating systems can coordinateconcurrent output. Another way to deal with concurrent device access is to provide explicitfacilities for coordination.Some operating systems (including VMS) provide support for exclusive device access, byenabling a process to allocate an idle device, and to deallocate that device when it is no longerneeded. Other operating systems enforce a limit of one open file handle to such a device.Many operating systems provide functions that enable processes to coordinate exclusive accessamong themselves. For instance, Windows NT provides system calls to wait until a deviceobject becomes available. It also has a parameter to the open () system call that declares thetypes of access to be permitted to other concurrent threads. On these systems, it is up to theapplications to avoid deadlock.THE SPOOLING MECHANISMThe entire key to spooling is a synchronous processing, where the program is not constrained bythe speed of slow devices, particularly printers.Printers are relatively slow peripherals. In comparison, disc devices and particularly CPU'sare orders of magnitude faster. Without spooling print data, the speed of program operationis constrained by the slowest device, commonly printers, forcing the program to wait for themechanical motion of the printer, the program is known as "print bound'.
When should you have kids?
I think that you should have them when your ready not under 25 though.
What does it mean when you printer says ready?
This means it is ready to print what you want it to.
What printer is compatible with a Chromebook?
Most printers that are "cloud ready" should work with a Chromebook. The printer would connect to the Google Cloud Print service. The Chromebook in turn would need to be setup for Google Cloud Print for it to work with a cloud read printer.
How do you connect to your wireless printer to a 2010 iMac using its built-in AirPort?
Unless the printer can be connected via airport which is doubtful you cannot. You can however connect it via WiFi or by Bluetooth if you printer is Bluetooth ready or with a Bluetooth device if it is Bluetooth compatible. Your Mac is Bluetooth ready.
You have printer hp laser jet 1500 you want to connect on win vista?
Windows Vista does not support the HP Laser Jet 1500 printer. Regardless, Vista users can sometimes connect their printer to their vista computer, and even though software is not installed, the printer will appear to be ready to print. It is a glitch, and this glitch can sometimes let vista users print with a printer that is not compatible with Vista. If your printer does not work well with Vista, it's time for a new printer, or for a search of HP Laser Jet 1500 software that works with vista.
Are WiFi printers hard to install?
Wifi printer installation varies from printer to printer. There are printers on the market today that are WIFI ready and all you have to do is link it to your wireless network. Other printers can be more complicated.
How do you identify the presence of a network ready printer?
Just check behind or on the right side of the printer where there will be a square hole. If your network cable fits in it, a GRAND SUCESS!
How can you tell that the ink cartridges for a printer are ready to be replaced?
Most printers now a days alert you when the printer ink is low. Also check the settings on you computers you may have set your printer to a lower quality print.
