After I installed Snow Leopard, I installed all of the printer drivers on the disc. It was a rather hefty size, over 1GB. Is there a way, manually or automatically, to delete all the ones I don't need?

I've done a search, and a couple of places (possibly outdated) have pointed me to Library > Printers, and that all the printer drivers should be there. When I do that, I only see the application for my own printer.

Section 6,iii
Delete printer drivers
By default, OS X install hundreds of megabytes worth of printer drivers. You can either delete the ones you don't need by hand (they are located in /Library/Printers).
 
Check the Library folder at the root of your hard drive, not the one in your user folder.
