A driver is a binary file used by an operating system to "drive" or operate a piece of hardware. Basically think of it this way: Your computer does not know how to use the hardware until it is given the instruction manuals a.k.a. drivers.
The printer driver resides on the computer. It is the software that tells the computer how to talk to the printer.
If a printer is to be dismantled and discarded, the printer driver should be destroyed with a hammer. The driver has a storage unit that stores all the information that the printer has ever printed, providing that there is enough room for storage.

The printer driver is probably corrupt. Try reinstalling the printer driver from the maker's website or install disk.
The fix is almost always to install the correct printer driver software (if you can find it). Sometimes when you connect a new Plug and Play compatible printer that the OS does not know (e.g. the printer is a newly introduced model and you have an older computer and OS) the OS will pick either a "generic printer driver" or a printer driver for an older "similar" printer. Such printer drivers may not in fact be compatible with the new printer and garble the printing. Hopefully the printer came with a printer driver installation CD or DVD, or the manufacturer's website provides downloads of their latest printer drivers for the printer.
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.
