What is  usbprint.sys

USB Printer Windows Driver, with a file extension of usbprint.sys, is part of the software for Windows OS and is considered as an important file that needs to be enabled at all times in order to prevent system errors, particularly when it comes to USB-connected printers. The file is not the actual driver for the printer, because your printer should have its own device driver; but the file serves as a link between the driver of your printer and the computer. In other words, the usbprint.sys file enables the system to recognize the actual driver for your printer. If this file is not found on the system, the printer driver will not execute, and in most cases, a system error will occur. To begin with, if the file is not found on the system, your printer driver will not complete its installation process. The default file directory for the system file is C:\Windows\System 32\Drivers\usbprint.sys. File size in bytes is typically 25,856.
