If you compare computer hardware to a motorcar, the driver of the motorcar would be classed as the software. Unless the driver switches on the ignition and put the car in gear, and so on, the motorcar would simply be a stationary heap of machinery. As you can see, unless software sends commands to the hardware, for example, to a printer, the printer would be like that stationary car - and just as useless.
