In the past, and possibly still, printer manufacturer(s) only provided Linux
drivers for 32bit. The one I'm using that does or did so is Brother. I haven't
checked lately to see if it has changed its policy.

The files and directories you list seem to be related to scanning, not printing.

Whether you can safely remove them probably depends on your printing and/or
scanning hardware.
