Many users overlook the fact that a printer requires software, much like a computer. This software is known as a driver. So, what exactly is a printer driver? What role does it play? Can a printer function without it? In this article, we will explore the significance of the printer driver and provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to download and install the Canon LBP 2900 / 2900B CAPT printer driver.
