It is like a waiting line for documents you wanted to print. An image of the document is taken and saved in the printing spooler in a format that the printer can understand (like code).

A print spooler is for spooling documents: putting print jobs on a queue and taking them off one at a time. It is one of the services provided by the operating system (ie Windows for most of us). A good print spooler should allow you to change the order of documents in the queue and to cancel specific print jobs.

Yep, that's what it is. When you share a printer in a home network, your actually sharing a spooler file on the one computer that is attached to your printer.
