Does anybody know whether Samsung Galaxy Core Prime has the capability to communicate over USB or if it is necessary to install any driver or set up any configuration?
 
It should work but you'll need one of these. I got one for my Samsung Galaxy SII back in the day and it also works with the Note 3 and the 10.1 inch tablets. Just plug it in and you can use Thumbridves, mice, keyboards all kinds of things.
 
I just used the USB data cable that came with the phone and the laptop recognizes the phone and I could access all the files from my Core Prime.
 
The correct answer is that USB default setting is for recharge. The Hidden Menu can be enabled that will set up Dev Tools submenu. It has a MTB process toggle to enable selecting for various USB cable operations (eg, data transfer, FTP and photos only.

To enable the Hidden Menu: Go to settings, all the way to bottom. About Device>Tap multiple times on Build Number to activate it.
Thereafter, Developer Options Menu will show just below Security on main settings. Turn the toggle for this menu ON at the top of the page

The USB selection toggle is about half way down the list of available modules

DO NOT FOOL WITH ANY OTHER SETTINGS in this menu.

Once activated, when you plug in your USB, a popup menu will allow you to choose among USB settings.
