You can hook more than one printer up to your system. Your default printer is basically the one that your document automatically goes to when you click on print. Whichever printer you use the most is the one you want to set as your default. It is usaully going to be the printer that you use to do basic tasks like print emails, letters, or pages that you just want a hard copy of. You would leave more specialized printers or printers that use expenive inks as printers that you switch to, instead of your default.

Printers use printer drivers which are specifically written for each printer model to communicate with computers. I.E. if the printer is a print, copy, scan, the driver must be able to handle all the functions of that printer.

Computer printers can print webpages off of the internet. They are also responsible for scanning things and putting them on the computer.
