NETWORK PRINTING Printer drivers The printer driver is the last major component to consider in network printing. This driver is system software that converts a document in your computer to a form that makes sense for the printer. When you print from an application on your computer, it is the printer driver that converts the layout on your screen to the ones and zeros that the printer takes as input. When the printer receives this information, it converts the ones and zeros into a correctly printed page. The installer program for network printing needs to have the printer driver to complete the installation. It usually turns out that the trickiest thing about the installation is knowing where to find the driver. You may be able to find the driver on the CD that came with your printer, on the Web, or on your operating system CD. If you previously had the same printer connected directly to your computer, the right driver may already be on your system. (We will provide more information on finding and using printer drivers in the next section, "Installing a Network Printer".)
