Actual file location of Generic PCL printer driver

I am trying to find the actual file for the Generic PCL printer driver (.ppd or.gz file). I've seen other discussions mention file paths that don't seem to exist in Mavericks. Does anyone know where this file is actually located in 10.9?


Thanks.

That is where I started. However, after some more searching online I was able to find that opening Terminal and typing "

open /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ PrintCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/" (no quotes) will open the folder containing the Generic.ppd file for the Generic PostScript Printer (apparently some of those directories still aren't visible after showing hidden files). I still haven't found the Generic PCL Printer file.
