Try here:
http://www.cups.org/ppd.php

P.S. if you cannot find your printer driver, check out the manual, they may be compatible with other printers like HP laserjets series.
What is the make/model of your printer?

I could not see an option to update drivers or include drivers for non listed printers. Is there a way to do this?
