Explanation

A printer is classified as an output device because it takes data from a computer and produces a physical result (printed pages) that the user can perceive. Output devices convert digital information into a human-usable form. Input devices (keyboard, mouse) send data into the computer, storage devices (hard drives) retain data, and processing devices (CPU) manipulate data - a printer does none of these; it only outputs.
