w7pro :
Provided that everything is connected properly, these should just be part of the installation and not individualized. However, if you have completed installation and there aren't drivers for your printer, you can try doing an immediate Windows Update to see if they'll show up after that.

If ttomy's situation is anything like mine (I'm trying to connect to a printer on an existing networked computer), then the issue isn't that the needed driver isn't "there" - the issue is that Windows doesn't realize that the driver is "there"...
In this situation, the user winds up facing this
aggravatingly unhelpful roadblock; at this point, [1] it's impossible to tell Windows that it missed the connection, [2] there's no avenue to be able to otherwise select or download the proper driver, and [3] OEM's are apparently under the impression that the driver is "part of a windows 7 installation" and, therefore, won't grant access to a link to get it (honestly, OEM's, if I took the time & effort to locate your driver, then why why WHY would you tell me that I don't need it???)...
To clarify, after being hit with this roadblock the first time, I tried to install the printer as if it were directly connected to the new machine. This wasn't going to work, of course, but then [A] it allowed me to see that the driver that I needed was NOT already there, and then, too,
it allowed me to use Windows to "update" the driver list to actually include the one that I needed. However, this didn't make one bit of difference in the whole process, which then led me to more internet queries and, ultimately, to this forum...
