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 S750 printer driver also provides other features, such as monitoring the printer's paper supply and ink levels. Selecting the S750 Printer for Use If the S750 is the only printer connected to your computer, it will automatically be set as the default (main) printer.
