Using the Windows Print Manager
The Print Manager is part of the Windows operating system and controls
the printing of your files.
Background printing
When the Print Manager is active, the print file that your application and
printer driver create is not sent directly to the printer. Instead, the print file
is sent to the Print Manager. The Print Manager then sends the print file to
the printer.
This means the Print Manager allows you to print in the
background
. Once
the Print Manager receives the print file from the application, you can
continue to use your computer for other work. The Print Manager will
send the print file to the printer when it has the time and memory available
to do so.
Because most of the time it takes to print is actually the processing time
needed for the computer to prepare the print file, background printing
does not usually give you any real advantage.
