A printer driver is software that enables your computer to communicate with your printer. It is the translator between your computer and the printer, converting the data that your computer sends to the printer into a language that the printer can understand.
Without a printer driver, your computer will not be able to communicate with your printer. This means that you will not be able to print documents, scan images, or perform any other functions that require the use of your printer.
