Printer Driver location for windows 7

Asked by edwardq in Windows 7, Drivers

Tags: windows 7

We are looking to deploy windows 7 both x86 and x64.   HP currently does not have any win 7 drivers for download, They state that they are part of the win7 package..   Problem is that all our printers are on a win2003 print server.  

So currently I am installing the printer port locally and getting the driver. Then I install the printer via the printer server  and it keeps telling me that there is no driver that is avaiable on the print server.  But I I install that printer locally it ask me if I want to overwrite the driver that is already installed.

Q: So where does windows put the drivers that It installs?  Can I move the drivers so I can easly copy to a new win 7 so I dont have to install each of the printers on each win 7 computer.
