Yes, a driver is a specialized software program that allows the operating system to communicate with hardware devices. It acts as a translator between the hardware and the software applications, ensuring that commands and data are properly understood by both sides. Without drivers, the operating system would not be able to effectively control or utilize the hardware components of a computer.
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) assigns tasks to the hardware within the computer.
what is the process that enables computers to communicate with eachother
The software that coordinates the activities of the computer and enables communication between hardware and software is called an operating system (OS). The OS manages hardware resources, provides a user interface, and facilitates the execution of application programs. Examples of popular operating systems include Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Typically a Driver. However this can also include Firmware, and the BIOS/CMOS.

Operating system
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. After installing the driver operating system will know that hardware that you plugged in is printer and how to control it. Just for better understanding: Operating System (Kernel) <----> Device Driver <----> Real Hardware

device manager
network card, or possibly usb port
a driver has to be used to enable the hardware to communicate or interface with the Operating System. The driver speaks the language of the device and enables commands from the OS to be delivered to the device.
through keyboard only we can enter the commands into the computer.
