A printer is a peripheral device that accepts text and images from computer and generates a hard copy (by transferring the information to papers) of them. It is an important part of any computer system that requires output. Depending on the type of printer, it can print in either text or graphics format.
The printing process can be done on a variety of materials including paper, plastic cards, and envelopes. Most printers use ink to create the printed document but there are some that use laser, thermal, or Xerographic technologies to produce the documents.
To print a document you must first open the file or document that you wish to print in your favorite program. Then select the Print or File > Print menu item from the menu bar of the application. This opens the printer dialog box and you can specify various printing options like the number of copies to be printed.
