Spooling sends documents to a buffer instead of sending them immediately to the printer. This allows multiple documents to be queued and printed in the order they were received, preventing printing conflicts and improving efficiency. Buffering also involves using a buffer, but it refers to temporarily storing data in memory to compensate for differences in processing speeds between devices. Spoofing is a type of cyber attack where a hacker pretends to be someone else to gain unauthorized access. Queuing is the process of organizing requests in a line to be processed in order.
