What Is a Printer Driver?

Most computers require special software to link the software applications you use
to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a printer
driver , converts information from the application into a format that the printer can
understand. The Canon S200 printer driver also provides other features, such as
monitoring the printer's paper supply and ink levels.

set as the default (main) printer. However, if your computer has access to multiple
printers, you can set the S200 as the default printer.
