Step 2: Printer Driver

In order to translate what's on your PC into the printer description language, your PC needs to use a piece of software called a printer driver. This driver takes the information from your file and formats it in such a way that the printer can understand it, using the printer's page description language. Each printer has its own unique printer driver.

(Need a driver? Check out CNET's Download section.)
