spooling is a temporary buffer area so non sharable device like printer ,os do use a spooling area to print data through printer instead of direct printing so by using spooling we removed mutual exclusion involving printer

But then again only one program(process) can print at a time. So mutual exclusion is still present??

There's only one practical solution to remove circular wait by arranging the request made by processes in increasing order
