Utility to remove extra print drivers?Anyone have a name of a utility that I can use to remove all of the extra print drivers that are on my MacBook?
I removed almost 4 gig of extra languages last night and now I want to hit the print drivers.
Thanks

Your best bet is probably to back up all of your important files and reinstall OS X, but do a custom install, I was able to cut my OS X install down from about 15 gigs to somewhere around 5-10 gigs, it's really helpful. Or, you could Archive and Install (which puts all of your files on a folder on your desktop and reinstalls the OS) using a custom install. Don't use the standard install, you should customize your install to YOUR needs.

You could just go to: Macintosh HD/Library/Printers
then just delete all of the associated printer folders that you won't need. I cleared out almost 2 GB doing that and no problems from doing it.__________________________________________________

I removed all printer drivers long ago except HP, because those are the only printers we use. But what if I buy a non-HP printer? Where do I get the drivers???
