This is inefficient not only in terms of disk space but also in terms of printer speed (although the actual difference might not be much).

这在磁盘空间利用和打印机速度方面效率都很低(尽管实际的区别可能不太大)。

But if, say, a printer driver suddenly erases the kernel code needed to access the disk drive, the operating system will have part of its brain cut out.

但是，比如一个打印机驱动程序突然把接磁盘驱动所需的核心代码删除掉，操作系统就会出现部分停顿。
