After painstakingly installing printer drivers for a thermal printer at work I realized I still don’t truly understand what I was installing. (Bonus points if you can cover video card drivers too cause idk what drivers are In that sense either)

A good example is a printer. Different printers have different widths, so your computer OS can’t just say “turn the motor which moves the print head 50 clicks” because those instructions are printer specific and would make different pictures. So your computer tells the driver, “tell your printer to go half way across the page and put ink there” and then the driver says, “ok for my kind of printer, half way across is 50 clicks counter clockwise “
