Queue

Queue is basically a comprehensive "to do" list for a computer. When a job is awaiting processing it joins the queue, if there are no other jobs in the queue (if they are sent to the printer for example) it will be printed straight away, however if there is a queue but the printing is urgent you can move it to the top of the list.
