I have the same problem, an in Windows XP Professional I cannot find this printer driver where it was in older Windows versions: Select "Microsoft" as the manufacturer, and then this printer. Ther is not even a manufacturer "Microsoft in the list.
Any idea where to find the driver? (I use a German version of XP Professional, the setup CD includes SP 1a.)

Thanks.

The manufacture is Generic

[Generic]
"Generic / Text Only" = TTY.GPD
,GenericGeneric_/_Tex8040,Generic_/_Text_Only
"Generic IBM Graphics 9pin" = GENIBM9.GPD
,GenericGeneric_IBM_GD35A,Generic_IBM_Graphics_9pin
"Generic IBM Graphics 9pin wide" = GENIBM9W.GPD
,GenericGeneric_IBM_GC7D5,Generic_IBM_Graphics_9pin_wide
