rahulkhajuria said:Why is it that one can immediately start transferring data from a Camera or Mobile onto a P.C. whereas ,as for a Printer , Scanner or Web Cam,one would have to first install the Program from the the CD or DVD (that came along with the product) onto the P.C. before one can transfer data from the Product onto the P.C. (or vice-versa) ?
Driver software is a type of computer program that allows the operating system to communicate with and control a specific hardware device. It is needed for devices because it acts as a translator between the device and the operating system, allowing them to understand each other and work together smoothly.
If your device is not functioning properly or is not recognized by your computer, it may need a driver. You can also check the manufacturer's website for your device to see if there is a driver available for download.
In some cases, a generic driver may work for your device, but it is always recommended to use the specific driver provided by the manufacturer. Generic drivers may not have all the necessary features and functionality for your specific device.
The installation process may vary depending on the device and operating system, but generally, you can install a driver by downloading it from the manufacturer's website and following the instructions provided. Some operating systems also have a built-in driver installation feature.
It is recommended to regularly check for updates for your device drivers, as they may improve performance, add new features, or fix bugs. However, if your device is functioning properly, updating the driver may not be necessary.
