Spooling (Simultaneous Peripheral Operation On-Line) is a process where data is temporarily stored in a buffer or queue before being sent to a device, such as a printer, allowing for efficient management of data and device operations. Polling, on the other hand, is a technique where a computer repeatedly checks the status of a device or process at regular intervals to determine if it is ready for communication or requires attention. While spooling optimizes data flow and device usage, polling can lead to inefficiencies due to constant checking, especially if the device is idle for long periods.
