So in the case of printers, the printer driver is the software that converts the "instructions" from the computer to the printer as they interface, and the data from the computer is processed and fed to the printer for the final output. However, seeing as there are thousands of different makes and models and brands of printers out there, these drivers are often specific to a particular printer model or make. Most drivers are customized to include additional functionalities for the specific printer, but this all won't matter if the drivers end up missing or corrupt for some reason, as the printer in question would not be functioning to begin with.
