Where do I download printer driver?

Hello, I found the driver online for my printer, but I don't know where to save the file to during download. I assume I dont save it in " my downloads". Where exactly do I save printer driver download at on my computer (Windows XP Professiomal)? Thankyou, marlagx

Save the download anywhere you want, a disk, your desktop, somewhere you can find it. After downloading it you will need to install it. If the drive is in a self installer, just open it up and it will do the job, or go to you printers setting, and tell it to update the drive, when it asks where to look for a new driver, select the location you saved it in.

just to clear things up and make it a little easier for you... have you already downloaded the driver and dont know where to find it? or you have not downloaded it and just dont know where to save it to. if thats the case... follow lynx's directions... if not, im not sure if the windows download unit has a default directory or anything... but you might want to run a search on your computer for the files "name." OR, if you are downloading with something like an "accelerator"... look in there.
