You and your brother are sharing a printer. You install the driver software onto your computer and install the printer. Then, you disconnect the printer and lend it to your brother. When you reconnect the printer later on, what is most likely to happen?

If the drivers for the printer aren't installed on your brother's computer, then the printer will not work. Everything attached to a computer needs a driver, including the internals, like the graphics card (through the desktop) and the RAM (through the BIOS). When you reconnect it to your computer, it will work because I am assuming that you have the latest drivers installed. However, if you try to plug in the printer to your computer without the proper drivers, then it will NOT work.

I hope this helps!
