Which component is responsible for transforming the data being printed into a format that the printer can understand while printing?

The printer driver converts the data being printed into a format that the printer can read using a page description language (PDL). In addition, the driver assures that the printer is ready to print. PDL is an abbreviation for page description language, which determines the layout of printed pages. The print queue contains print jobs that are ready to be printed, while the print spooler oversees the printing process, including selecting the appropriate printer driver.
