Why the Driver is Essential for a particular Printer?

In every computer, a printer driver or you can say a print processor is a piece of its software that renovates the data to be printed to a format that a printer can actually understand. The basic motive of printer drivers is to permit the applications to do printing without being attentive to the technical details of each printer model. In short and simple language, we can say the printer driver is simply a program through which a computer can communicate with a printer and can easily send a print request to it. The printer driver has two main functions or components: one has the ability to change the print job data into a language that the printer can actually understand and the second is to support as a bridge between the printer and computer that allows the computer to understand the printer’s hardware specifications and details. The printer driver is very essential and unique to each printer that changes some standard format file into a required instruction sent to the printer.
