actually drivers aren't usually 3g in size. it's the crap that comes with them that takes up that space. most actual hardware drivers are only a few k to a few meg in size.
still it's probably more of a limitation that the ipad has no easy way to install (or remove) these drivers, and that it would be yet another platform for hardware manufacturers to support (or ignore like so many do with the mac). it's just easier for apple to stay out of it entirely, let you print from your desktop.
