It enables essential features such as printing, scanning, and faxing, while also providing access to advanced settings like print quality adjustments and paper handling options. Historically, the availability and ease of acquiring these software components have significantly improved, moving from physical media distribution to primarily online downloads, simplifying the user experience.
