   BASIC PRINTER OPERATION

Installing the Printer Driver for Windows

®

The printer driver is software that translates print and command instructions from the format used by a 
computer to the format that a particular printer needs.

When using the printer locally, install the printer driver on the computer connected to it. To share a printer 
through a network, install the printer driver on every computer connected to the network.
