ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for processing device drivers, or software drivers, which enable a device, such as a peripheral device, to perform a particular task. One such method, among others, includes receiving a request for a task to be performed by a peripheral device. In response to receiving the request, the method further includes downloading a peripheral device driver that is configured to enable the peripheral device to perform the requested task.
