What is a printer driver?

A print driver (sometimes known as a print processor) is a software component that enables your computer to communicate with your printer. It's a print job interpreter, translating the computer's digital data into a recognizable format the printer can understand.

Why can't my computer find my printer driver?

The “Driver is Unavailable” error means Windows is unable to locate the right driver required for issuing commands to your printer. This could be due to having incorrect, corrupted, or outdated drivers installed, or due to your system not having the necessary access permissions.
