Does driver software is an system software?
No, Driver Software is Software made for any Device and not for the system . Like any Computer having Realtek Sound Adapter on its MotherBoard so they will provide a setup which is a Device Driver Software . Eventually Operating System Dont have the commands and any programming to control the Device so the Device Manufacturer provides the Commands and services via device Driver Software or setup . You cant Actually see that every Device got different Softwre for Different Operating System and Device Version. Like same Realtek Device would have made the Device Driver for Windows as well as Linux or other Avalable Operating System with which it is compatible .
What price of software allows an operating system to communicate with peripheral devices?
A device driver.
WHAT System software that lets the system unit interact with peripheral devices attached to it?
That sounds like you are asking about device driver software.
What is a device driver?
Device drivers are sets of software instructions that control the interface between a computer and a connected peripheral device. Device drivers tell your machine what the device is, what the device does, and all the other instructions needed for proper operation. For instance, Microsoft Windows does not ship with a specific device driver set for all the features in your new Logitech keyboard that has custom buttons.
What does device management mean in an operating system?
Device management controls peripheral devices by sending them commands in their own proprietary language. The software routine that knows how to deal with each device is called a "driver," and the OS requires drivers for the peripherals attached to the computer. When a new peripheral is added, that device's driver is installed into the operating system
What is driver software and why it is required?

The software that allows the OS to communicate with a device is known as a?
Driver
How does a device driver contribute toward device independence?
Device independence is the process of making a software application be able to function on a wide variety of devices regardless of the local hardware on which the software is used.In other words, a device driver is regarded only when the software needs to access it through a software written by for the device specifically (to access it). And device independence means the device could be accessed by ANY programs (not necessarily written for the device)
Which manage the hardware and software resources used by driver?
Device manager
What type of utility software helps a peripheral device such as a printer establish communication with computer?
