A printer driver is a bit of software that instructs a printer how to work. Without such a driver, the printer may not work, or print rubbish. A print queue forms when a print job is sent to the printer that is already printing. Once the first print job has been completed, the second print job is then printed.

I got stuck in a printer last week. Lost my leg in the ink cartridge.
If you cannot get the printer restarted, you must cancel the job by right-clicking on it and selecting Cancel, to clear the queue. You may be able to get the printer working again by turning it off, unplugging it from the wall, and then plugging it in and turning it back on; but the print job, if it is partially processed, will be unreadable. You can, instead of canceling the print job, pause it; restart the printer as described above; and then restart the print job with right-click and Restart job. That will sometimes recover the print job.
