I have been trying to get an old Epson receipt printer working on a computer running Windows 7. The problem is the generic text driver literally does not exist on the list of Windows 7 drivers.
I was able to share a printer using the generic text driver, and install it networked to the computer without the driver. I believe this should have copied over the relevant driver files. Where could I find the .inf file for the generic text driver?
Thanks!
** The printer also is connected via a serial to usb adapter.

Since you've installed the generic drivers using a share, you should be able to print a test page on the computer with the a share to get the location of the driver files (or at least the names), as you mentioned in comments.
However, now that you have them installed, they should show up in the
Add A Printermenu when you do a manual setup. If they don't there's a chance that they did not install correctly. You'd have to go through this step anyway in order to install the printer, I'm assuming.
