Unlike a standard driver that replaces an existing one, the sits "on top" of a device's original manufacturer driver. This allows the original software (like a printer's dashboard or a phone's sync tool) to keep working while simultaneously giving a second, custom application the ability to "eavesdrop" or send raw commands to the device.
