    I have a fax/printer installed on a pc at the moment but I have a new pc that I want to setup with the printer. The problem is I dont have the driver cd and it's not on the manufacturers website. Is there any way I can copy the installed driver from the old pc?

    Be very difficult as you would need to know what and where all the driver files are. What modem/make is the printer? Prehaps somone here can help you locate a driver.

    No, they're the drivers for a copier which is also called an estudio 80. The one I have is a fax machine which I use as a printer, its an estudio 80F.

    If it's just printer functionality you want to copy , then share the printer from PC1. Then on PC2 add a network printer - choose PC1 etc. This will install the driver. Then add a new local printer with a generic driver, late on in printer properties change the printer driver.
