Laser Printer Drivers - In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software that converts the data to be printed to the form specific to a printer. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.

On Microsoft Windows systems, printer drivers make use of GDI (Unidrv or PostScript-based) or XPS (XPSDrv). Programs then use the same standard APIs to draw text and pictures both on screen and on paper. Printers which use GDI natively are commonly referred to as Winprinters and are considered incompatible with other operating systems, although there are software programs which will make these printers work in a DOS prompt within Windows.

MS-DOS (or compatible) has support for virtual ports "PRN" and "LPTx" (for parallel printers, where x is a number) to refer to any supported printers. Users can for example use the command "COPY file1 LPT1" to print the content of file file1 to the printer on the first parallel port. However, this method of printing is mainly for generic text files without special format; there is also no system-wide printer drivers for use at application level beyond these virtual ports. In order to support more complex printing for different models of printers, each application (e.g. a word processor) may be shipped with its own printer drivers, which were essentially descriptions of printer commands. Printers, too, have been supplied with drivers for the most popular applications. In addition, it's possible for applications to include tools for editing printer description, in case there was no ready driver. In the days when DOS was widely used, many printers had emulation modes for Epson FX80 and IBM Proprinter commands. Many more recent laser printers also have emulations for HP PCL or PostScript printers which will work in DOS.
