If I right-click on a printer icon and select "Remove device", will that
uninstall the driver(s)?

This is for Windows. Where are the driver files stored?

Thanks.

Unless you were using stock Windows drivers, you probably want to
uninstall using the standard Programs and Features section.

For stock Windows, you can go to Printers from Control panel, then
File/Server Properties..., then the Drivers tab.

See Andrew's reply. That gets you to the place you can delete the drivers.
