Device Driver

A device driver is a specialized software program that acts as a translator between your computer's operating system and a hardware device, such as a printer, graphics card, or scanner. It ensures the hardware can communicate effectively with the system, allowing the device to function properly. Without the correct driver, the hardware may not work or may not work correctly. Drivers are usually provided by the device manufacturer and need to be installed and updated for optimal performance and compatibility. Essentially, a device driver makes hardware and software work together smoothly.
