How do you delete drivers, specifically printer drivers, on macOS? Say you install some printer drivers for your printer and then newer ones become available, would it be necessary to uninstall/delete the older ones before installing the new ones? Either way, how would you go about deleting drivers anyway on macOS?
 
If an uninstaller is not provided, the best way to uninstall them is by looking inside the installation pkg to see what has been installed and remove those files and folders.

I have a Canon PIXMA MG3600 series printer, these are the files installed by the MG3600 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 16.80.0.0 and ICA Driver Ver.5.0.0
