What Is a Printer Driver?
Most computers require special software to link the software applications you use to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a printer driver, converts information from the application into a format that the printer can understand. The Canon S600 printer driver also provides other features such as monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.
