When you plug a device (such as a printer, camera, scanner or keyboard) into a computer the Operating system needs to communicate with this divice. Since these devices can be made by just about anyone, the operating system needs an 'interpreter'. This is the role of the driver. It interprets communication from the operating system to the device that's plugged in.
