A program that controls printing and sets options such as print quality and paper size for a particular printer. For example, in LAN Manager, each printer queue has a single printer driver associated with it.
Software that sends instructions to the printer to tell it what to do. For example, your printer driver accepts print data from your word processor application and sends instructions to the printer on how to print this data.
The software that enables your operating system to properly build and format commands and data bound for your printer; in effect, a printer driver tells your operating system all that it needs to know to successfully operate your printer.
A software program that sends commands for using the features of a particular printer. Often shortened to "driver".
A software program that supplies information such as printing interface, description of fonts, and features of the installed printer to the system software. Computer programs access this information when printing.
A software program that sends commands for using the features of a particular printer. See also driver.
Software used to enable specific printing capabilities, such as printing output of a specific nature.
The printer driver is the software that allows your computer to communicate with a specific type of printer. You must install the driver before you can print to a new printer. The printer driver comes with the printer, on a CD or floppy disk, but your operating system also stores a certain number of drivers that you can install directly from your hard disk.
