Generic Driver available?

I have a Xerox P1210 Xerox will not support.
DocuPrint P1210 Drivers and Downloads

Is there such a concept as a generic driver, perhaps limited fucntionallity, but a driver none-the-less.

Today I tried to use whatever Vista 64 might like to use. It worked perfectly. Perhaps Xerox chooses not to create a driver, but somehow the P1210 driver is in Vista.
I clicked
Start
Settings
Printer
Add Printer
Add a local printer
Create a new port:
entering the IP address of the HP Jetdirect print server, connecting my printer to the LAN
Then it asked which parrallel port - which confused me
I accepted Port 1 - the default
Selected finish
The printer was installed on the IP port (not parrallel) with a driver called Xerox P1210.
A simple print tested worked.
Printing a small PDF worked.
I suppose the driver has limitations, but my needs are met.
