What is device driver and its relationship with the operating system?
A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface.
What is the driver in the computer?
Driver is piece of software that knows how to communicate with specific hardware. For example when you plug your printer for the first time Windows operating system (and other too) does now know how to use this device.

Just for better understanding: Operating System (Kernel) <----> Device Driver <----> Real Hardware
