A spool request is sent to a printer automatically only if a user has the Print immediately option marked when he or she requests a print. Otherwise, the spool request waits in the spool until it is explicitly sent to the printer or deleted.
When a spool request is sent to a printer, the spool system formats the output data for the printer. It then passes the resulting output request to a host spool system or print manager for output.
In this case, the output request is still waiting in the SAP spool system and has not yet been passed on to a host spool system and output device.
