Spool is so 1950s.
The correct term these days is queue. Get used to it.

I know spool is correct, but I still use queue interchangably.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

A spool is a rolled-up quantity of string. A queue is a waiting list.

 

[nutxo]

Spool is the document and driver and queue is the line on the printer.

Been a while but this sounds right

A queue is when you're in line to get some fish and chips.

You're a spool if you think spool is the correct term.
