Question SM bus Controller and PCI

[PDN]

I installed Win 11 and did not include the ASUS utility box. Now devices and printers in control panel and device manager say those drivers are missing. How can I find the right ones? Do I need that utility box?

No, drivers for printers download from printer's manufacturer.

I installed only drivers from that utility box from Asus and all seems ok. Next time I'll try the manufacturer but I am not good at this. Thank you for your help.

Install the Chipset Drivers.

I installed the Epson printer first. Next time I will do chipset first, but two entries were asked for; SM bus controller and another I cannot remember.
The Asus utility had material I did not install, only necessary features, and it runs well now with no warnings.
Except in devices and printers there is a 2 after the computer. Is this going to affect performance?

IME driver may be needed too.
