Chapter 2 Getting Acquainted with the Printer
What is the printer driver?
The printer driver takes the data created by the software
application, converts it to a format that the printer can
understand, and then sends it to the printer.
The printer driver also provides many useful features that
you can use to set up special print jobs which include
quality and colour settings, and so on. For details, see
“Chapter 4 Using the Printer Driver”.
The printer driver provides a vital link between the software application and the
printer.
