Default Installing a Generic/Text printer for XP

I'm trying to install a printer that will use the
Generic/Text-only printer driver. But I can't find the
driver listed in the printer list (like it used to be for
all other Windows versions). Where can I find this
driver for Windows XP?

In English this means look through the standard printer list for a
manufacturer called Generic.
