Driver term explained

Driver - Device Driver

The device driver is a program that is written specifically for a certain piece of computer hardware. The driver tells the computer what the hardware is and allows it to function accordingly.

They control hardware such as graphics and sound cards.

Drivers for your hardware are often updated as time proceeds. It is good practice to keep your device drivers updated so you can always get the best performance from your product.

If you have hardware and need the drivers, the best place to start is the manufactures website. For example within this site I have a printer section where I give relevant driver links for the most popular home printers.
