remove devices from colorsync

the "devices" tab in color sync shows a long list of printers that were once registered to my computer but that i no longer use.

Q: - how do i remove obsolete printers from the colorsync device list?

- where does colorsync store its preferences/cache?

thx for help!

nope, there are no files (neither visible or invisible) from the vendors of the old printers. i suppose os x stores all registered printers in some plist - but in which?? arrrgh.

They're more than likely stored in the driver bundles.

doesn't seem to be the case. i've removed all driver bundles except the ones for my xerox phase and acrobat.
