About the Printer Driver

The printer driver allows the software applications you use to access the printer features. For example, your application determines the page breaks, font selection, and page setup for your print job. The printer driver translates this information into a printer language and sends the job to the printer. The printer driver’s graphical user interface gives you access to additional printing options that are not available from your software application.
Access the features for the printer driver from the print and page setup commands in the application you are using.
