Printer Buffer

The 

computer

 can send 

data

 to the printer faster than the printer can print.The printer 

buffer

 is an area of 

memory

 in 

a

 printer that stores 

output

 from the 

computer

 until 

it

 can be printed.If the 

buffer

 gets full, the 

computer

 must wait before 

it

 can send more 

data

.If 

a

 printer has more than one 

computer

 hooked to 

it

, the printer 

buffer

 will hold the 

output

 from one 

computer

 while 

it

 prints output 

it

 received earlier.Also called print 

buffer
