Are you sure you're selecting the correct printer? Sometimes a computer will attempt to send a document to a non-existent or a former printer.

(assuming windows)

Go to Control Panel then Printers, it may be "Printers and Faxes", depending on your system. Check which printer is 'default'. The default printer will have a check mark by it. If the wrong printer is selected as default, "right click" on the correct printer and then select the option, "set as default printer".

If you don't find your printer in the list, you may need to install it using the manufacturers installation software, or you may need to find a "driver" over the internet.

Why printer queue and printer drivers are required?

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.
