Update device drivers

Device Drivers are specialized programs created by device manufactures. Whereas the computer's CPU is like the computer's 'brain', Device Drivers are like the nervous system. The CPU communicates with the Drivers, and they in turn communicate with the Printer, or Scanner, or camera, or what ever you have connected to it.

Sometimes, the drivers require updating and can significantly improve over-all performance
