A printing protocol is a protocol for communication between client devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) and printers (or print servers).It allows clients to submit one or more print jobs to the printer or print server, and perform tasks such as querying the status of a printer, obtaining the status of print jobs, or cancelling individual print jobs.
Nowadays, the most common use of spooling is printing: documents formatted for printing are stored in a queue at the speed of the computer, then retrieved and printed at the speed of the printer. Multiple processes can write documents to the spool without waiting, and can then perform other tasks, while the "spooler" process operates the ...
It sleeps until another message is posted in the queue, and then wakes up to check again. Non-blocking receive returns immediately to the caller, mentioning that it failed. msgctl() Used to change message queue parameters like the owner.

A priority queue must at least support the following operations: is_empty: check whether the queue has no elements. insert_with_priority: add an element to the queue with an associated priority. pull_highest_priority_element: remove the element from the queue that has the highest priority, and return it.
More expensive, business-grade printers use progressively larger ink tanks on the printhead, but as the platen width and speed of the printer increases it eventually becomes impractical to have the tanks integrated with the printheads due to the high mass and inertia the liquid volume adds to the printheads and the reduced accuracy of printing ...

Worked on your choice of RSX or RSTS, as I recall. Upper-and-lower-case printed output was available on daisy wheel printers or on line printers with a 94-character print drum. Nor was this capability new with the PDP-11, for Word 11 was a close emulation of "WPS-8", a word processing package that DEC sold for years.
