The driver ensures that communication between the computer and the device is successful. For example, it is often possible to connect many different types of printer, each with its own special operating codes, to the same type of computer. This is because driver programs are supplied to translate the computer's standard printing commands into the special commands needed for each printer. How to thank TFD for its existence?
