{{Short description|Software for connecting to a printer}} {{redirect-multi|1|GRAPHICS|other uses|graphics (disambiguation)}} {{multiple issues| {{essay-like|date=February 2013}} {{Refimprove|article|date=July 2009}} }} In [[computers]], a '''printer driver''' or a '''print processor''' is a piece of [[software]] on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a [[computer printer|printer]] can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model. Printer drivers should not be confused with [[print spooler]]s, which queue [[print job]]s and send them successively to a printer.
