Printer driver 

A printer driver is software that translates data from the format used 
by a computer to the format that a particular printer needs.  Typically, 
this format is a printer command language or page description 
language. 

The printer drivers for the following operating systems are on the 
CD-ROM that we have supplied.  You can also download the latest
