What is Device Driver and how to work 

To create a driver of a hardware device, the programmer has to write code in a high-level, because that driver can work with that hardware. 

But both the operating system and the device hardware use different languages. They do not understand each other's language. In this case, the device driver acts as a translator, and changes the languages ​​of both.

So you will instruct the computer to print and by computer this instruction will go to the printer by the device driver and the printer will print out your file. The main job of the driver is to instruct the computer connected hardware. So that it can work fully.
