It is software which you have to install on your computer to make your printer work. You usually get the printer driver on a CD disc together with the printer when you buy a printer.

It's a tiny little program that lets your computer talk to your printer. It tells the computer how to format things so that they will print correctly.
You should always check to see if you have the latest printer driver on your computer.

A device driver, or a software driver is a specific type of computer software, typically developed to allow interaction with hardware devices. Typically this constitutes an interface for communicating with the device, through the specific computer bus or communications subsystem that the hardware is connected to, providing commands to and/or receiving data from the device, and on the other end, the requisite interfaces to the operating system and software applications. Often called a driver for short, it is a specialized hardware dependent computer program which is also operating system specific that enables another program, typically an operating system or applications software package or computer program running under the operating system kernel, to interact transparently with a hardware device, and usually provides the requisite interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interfacing needs.
