windows 7 - How to find out which driver files belong to a certain hardware device like a printer?


On a certain machine I installed a Dell 2355dn Laser MFP printer, now how can I find out what files on the hard drive are used as drivers to access the printer.


I assume they must be under c:\windows\system32\drivers, right?


I know DriverView from NirSoft that lists all drivers on the system, but I did not find any Dell drivers?


Any ideas how to list them?


Answer



you can see all file associated with Specific Driver in Driver File Details



  • Open Device Manager window ( Go to RUN menu and type "devmgmt.msc")


Device manager Window



  • rigght Click on particular Device that you want and select Properties
    Go To Properties Of Device

  • in Properties window Click on Driver Details button
    Driver Details



    • in Driver Details Window You can see What files are associated with this Device Driver
      associated files with Device Driver



Good Luck!
