What causes a printer or computer when it is spooling data to the printer to take so long to get to the printer and start printing?

this is down to an incorrect driver or windows driver installed for the printer or a conflict within the software. try uninstaling ALL software to do with the printer and the printer itself and reinstalling it. if this doesnt solve the problem there could be a problem with the port it is connected to (ie parallel).

In computer science, spooling refers to a process of transferring data by placing it in a temporary working area where another program may access it for processing at a later point in time. This temporary working area could be a file or storage device, but probably not a buffer. Traditional uses of the term spooling apply to situations where there is little or no direct communication between the program writing the data and the program reading it. Spooling is often used when a device writes data at a speed different from the rate at which the target device reads it, which would allow a slower device to process it at its own rate. Data is only modified through addition or deletion at the ends of the area, i.e., there is no random access or editing.

you can also change the pdl in the driver properties... some pdl's deliberately enlarge data files; if that doesn't work try decreasing your dpi and open up your task manager to monitor your available memory when sending a print job... you can never have enough memory! printers by default come with enough onboard memory to process simple jobs. if you are in an environment where several job are sent similtanioulsy you might want to get the memory of that device upgraded.

What are the advantages of millimeter wave transmission used in wireless networks?

Advantages

High bandwidth

Less interference (at least so far)

Potential Health Benefits (actually used this way, mostly in Former Soviet Union)

Disadvantages

Short range

Potential health effects (higher energy content than microwave)

Clearly not a comprehensive list. I have just started my own research into this.
