What Is a Printer Driver?

Most computers require special software to link the programs you use to create
documents or images with the printer. This special software, called a printer
driver, converts the information from the software application into a format that
the printer can understand, and provides other handy features, such as
monitoring the levels of ink in the printer.

Selecting the S530D Photo Printer for Use

If the S530D is the only printer connected to your computer, it will be used
