How can I uninstall the Leopard printer drivers that it initially installed? I've heard this hogs up around 2.5 gigs of HD space! Where can I find them on the HD? or is there a program that does it automatically? Any help would be appreciated...thanks!
Got a tip for us?

so i checked that folder, and there's only a few files in it adding up to about 3 MBs...does that mean that it never installed initially? or that they might be somewhere else?
Sorry safari quit on me before i had finished the post, they should be in one of these places, can't quite remember which one in particular
/Library/Printers - think it is this one
/Users/username/Library/Printers
/System/Library/Printers

That's correct. I deleted several folders and opened up at least two gig, if not more.
i've seen other posts claiming this is possible... worst case scenario you could always reinstall the printers drivers from the leopard install disc
it had all the printer drivers except the one for my printer....
when i installed leopard i just decided not to install them. when i first ran software update, it found the drivers for my printer and installed them, cool! I was planning on just downloading them from Canon's site.
