A user connects a new printer to their computer, but it does not work. The operating system needs a specific component to translate its commands into instructions the printer can understand. What is this component called?
Services
Drivers
User interfaces
File systems
The correct answer is Drivers. Device drivers are specialized software components that act as translators between the operating system and a hardware device. They allow the OS and applications to communicate with and control the hardware without needing to know the specific technical details of the device. Services are background processes that provide functionality but they rely on drivers to interact with hardware. User interfaces are for human-computer interaction, and file systems organize data on storage; neither is the primary component for hardware communication.
