January 25, 2009

If you’re looking to free up a little bit of space you can safely delete all of the printer drivers that come installed on your system by deleting all the folders in /Library/Printers.  Should free up about 3 GB of space.  Safe and effective.

    On new Macs, I always do a fresh install of OS X, and customize the install by removing the printer drivers and all the language translations. Saves about 10GB.
