The de facto OS/2 standard ftp site is ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  It is huge.

You may not find the drivers you are looking for there.  My suggestion
on both models is to rely on any compatibility they over.  For
example, is the NEC compatible with any Epson model?

(In fact, that's what a lot of applications and Windows can do -- they
will list a particular model, but internally they'll use an Epson or
some other compatible driver.  I hope OS/2 continues to crosslist
specific models -- this next beta includes a lot more.)
