That Annoying "Printer Queue" thing...

I really am not sure I need a "printer queue". I've got one, it seems, and mine is not happy, which in turn is making me unhappy. I have no idea how this thing thinks or does what it does, but it is getting me unimaginably frustrated. It simply won't print- it just keeps queuing things up. I thought, in my simple, humble and innocent naivety, that there must be some problem with the one at the front of the queue. This would be a little bit like a situation in a supermarket. You're desperate to get home (perhaps to try out your soon-to-be-bought condiments or snacks) but some unruly individual (usually an elderly person) is chatting to the till attendant. As a result, none of those queuing can be served and problems mount up.
Now, some people, I'm sure, really do need print queues. No doubt the endless help that people have gained from such intelligent queuing systems is enormous to the point of elephantine proportions. But I just don't need a print queue. I don't even have a printer!
