Removing unused printer drivers (All 1.23GB of them)
After having a look around and deleting as much as I could find from the users and shared folder, I had a look around to see what else there was that was hogging so much space.
I found that the /Library directory was taking up about 11GB, which might be a bit big, but all right. what surprised me was when I had a look to see what was making it so big. App support was of course massive, but so was the printers folder, 1.57GB. now since we only have one printer (the extremely nice Canon MP780. buy it, it truly is a joy to use) I thought that was just a bit much. Looking deeper still, I found that the canon folder took up about 300-400 MB, sadly the Epson one was taking up more than twice that.
So to the point. What I want to know is if it's safe to delete any or all the ones I don't need and just keep the rest?
Thanks for any help you can give. I know this is a bit obscure, and usually I'd just go for it, but I know how temperamental printers can be if you don't treat them just how they want to be treated.
Al.
(P.S: when installing a new system, learn form my mistakes and just use the printer drivers you need. more can be added later)
