I don't know of anything in the interface that will show when a print driver is installed. The only way I can think to get this
information is after each driver is installed the system will create a .BUD file for that driver. You could search for the .BUD
files in the %systemroot%\system32\spooler\drivers\w32x86 folder and its sub-folders. The create dates of the individual
.BUD files should tell you when the driver that .BUD file is for was installed.
