Peter,
If I recall, the listing of printer drivers gave the location (folder) and name of the driver file(s).  You could always copy the file(s) individually to a usb drive, etc.  Just a bit of a manual process.

Subject: [PCBUILD] printer driver

Thank you to Peter Ekkerman for providing the answer to downloading drivers from Microsoft. Normally drivers that are not part of the Windows 7 install disk need to be downloaded each time an install is done. By downloading the needed drivers it is possible to create an install disk that includes these extra drivers. For those of us doing installs at various times, this is a big help.

 

Paul suggested looking at printer properties, but that only allows updating of the driver, but does not provide for backing it up. Derek suggested the Double Driver program, but it does NOT create backups of PRINTER drivers. It is great for saving other system drivers though.
