Which funtcion is performing when an operating system receives an interrupt from the printer and pauses the CPU?

In traditional programming parlance, an interrupt is handled by an Interrupt Handler. The CPU is not actually paused, but the current process that was running before the interrupt occurred is paused while the CPU processes the request. Once the Interrupt Handler returns, the application will be returned to its original running state. In modern operating systems with multiple tasks, the original application that was running may stay suspended after the interrupt completes in favor of running another process that has been suspended for some time.

HOW IS SOFTWARE INTERRUPT INITIATED?

Interrupt signals initiated by programs are called software interrupts. A software interrupt is also called a trap or anexception. A signal informing a program that an event has occurred. When a program receives an interrupt signal, it takes a specified action (which can be to ignore the signal). Interrupt signals can cause a program to suspend itself temporarily to service the interrupt. Interrupt signals can come from a variety of sources. For example, every keystroke generates an interrupt signal. Interrupts can also be generated by other devices, such as a printer , to indicate that some event has occurred. PCs support 256 types of software interrupts and 15 hardware interrupts. Each type of software interrupt is associated with an interrupt handler -- a routine that takes control when the interrupt occurs. For example, when you press a key on your keyboard, this triggers a specific interrupt handler. The complete list of interrupts and associated interrupt handlers is stored in a table called the interrupt vector table , which resides in the first 1 K of addressable memory.
