The Microsoft Windows Printing System manages the communications between your
computer and printer. It divides the work between the two, helping the printer and
computer work together to optimize performance.
The Microsoft Windows Printing System processes documents from Microsoft Windows
applications faster than traditional methods, and lets you quickly see the status of your
print job. If you install the included sound files, your computer will actually tell you
verbally what your printer is doing.
