I think you will need to remotely install the driver using another XP
machine.
the driver files are contained in driver.cab and spN.cab under
\windows\driver cache\i386
the inf for the inbox drivers is nprint.inf in \windows\inf. You will also
need the ntprint.cat file so the drivers show up as signed.
I've never used embedded but I assume it's similar to Server 2008 Core where
there is no explorer UI. If this is the same in embedded and you need to
install the drivers locally, look for prndrvr.vbs in system32 to install the
drivers.
