Printer driver question

    Just wondering if it is possible to locate a particular driver of a printer on a Windows PC and transfer it to another Windows PC?
    I have an Epson tractor feed printer (for printing prescriptions). It was printing slowly until I changed the driver, which was located on the PC:it's running Windows XP. All I had to do was select it from a drop down in the "advanced" tab of the printers properties.
    I have another of this same printer (exact same make and model) attached to a different PC (also running Windows XP) which is also running slowly. However it doesn't have this driver on it.
    I tried looking for it on the 'net but it's an old printer ad it isn't available anymore.
    Where exactly are printer drivers stored on Windows?
    Thanks for any replies.

    Look in the device manager for the printer. Get the properties of the driver and it will tell you the file names. Then you can lift the files needed from the system driver folder and put them on the other pc and direct windows where to get the drivers.
