In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.
Printer drivers should not be confused with print spoolers, which queue print jobs and send them successively to a hp deskjet 1513 driver.
The printer driver is the connection between your computer and your printer that relays commands to tell the printer how and what to print. There are many possible reasons why your printer driver might stop working. For example, it could be corrupted or incompatible, the settings might be wrong or it might be missing updates. Fixing a printer driver error is often simply a matter of updating, installing or reinstalling the driver.
How does a Printer Driver Works? When a print driver is successfully installed, connecting it to a Windows PC is easy. Prompts to the printer are sent through the Windows PC software. This is only so long as the connection is well done.
The printing process will start immediately after this. This has to be done only once generally in the lifetime of the printer. Unless and until you reinstall the operating system.
You need to update your Printer Drivers regularly in order to keep your devices such as your printer running well. Download the Driver Installer below and run a free scan to check if your drivers are up-to-date.
How Do I Install Driver updates?
To fix your Drivers problems you will need to know the particular model of the Printer device you are having problems with (if you are choosing to manually update the Drivers, for automatic Driver update the hp driver Update Tool will find the exact Driver for you). Once you have the details you can search the Printer website for your drivers and, if available, download and install these drivers.
How do I know if I need to update my driver ?
If you are unsure of whether or not you need to update your Drivers, or indeed which Drivers may need to be updated, you can run a Drivers scan using a driver update tool (you will need to pay to register this tool but usually the Drivers scan is free). This will allow you to assess your Driver needs without any commitment. Alternatively, you can use the device manager to check if there are problems with any of your hardware devices.
Can I update the Printer Drivers myself?
In many cases the answer to this is yes, however in some cases the manufacturers no longer make the Drivers available so you need to use a Driver Update Tool to install the missing Drivers. The purpose of such as tool is to save you time and effort by automatically downloading and updating the Drivers for you.
