The problem you mention is a known CUPS problem and in the works:

This is a problem when running a set of desktops with a traditional CUPS
server that advertises its printers. The desktops should see only the
server queues but by default they get duplicated (or even multiplicated
entries) because the printers also advertise themselves.
The setting suggested by
Mathias Weyland (launchpad-weyland), thanks for the link to the patched
GTK, thispatch is generally a good idea as it is not a good idea of a
print dialog talking directly to IPP printers, circumventing CUPS.
The problems are the following:
1. A typical desktop application sends the data to get
lp:1477106 is another bug where this is being discussed (but didn't get
much attention). I agree that this is due to somewhat broken behaviour
of gtk3 and not cups-filter or avahi. In any case, an updated GTK 3
patch for Focal is available in the following for those who came here
with this

This bug surely does not belong to "cups-filters" package. And probably
it does not belong to Avahi. And to CUPS either. This bug does belong to
GTK library and GTK apps which do not provide an option like "list only
local CUPS printers, not everything Avahi has sniffed on the network".
Avahi is
This is one of the most stupid default behaviors I have encountered.
Out of the several colleagues and family members who use linux (it is
used quite a bit in a university environment), they are ALL (down to the
last one) very annoyed at this behavior. The problem is that you have

Thank you for the step by step procedure jrgsampaio. I just followed it
with the trivial modification to edit cupsd.conf instead of cups.conf.
Unfortunately, I can't test it until I next travel to a conference with
discoverable printers on the network, so I have no idea if it worked
yet.

I could get rid of the auto browsing/adding with the following:
firstly stop cups:
sudo service cups stop
then
sudo gedit /etc/cups/cups.conf
(or using any other editor) and comment...
## browselocalprotocols dnssd
save and close
then
sudo gedit /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf
and set
Same happening for me in 18.04. I just removed cups-browsed service. In
localhost:631 those "unwanted" printers are gone, but in the rest of
applications (like firefox, chrome, etc), still there.
So, no fix for this yet?
Thanks.

Hallo, same problem here. I set cups.conf to

that seems to solve the problem in Cups, but network printers still show up in
the gnome printing dialogue. Well... sometimes. When I open the print dialogue
from Firefox then there is no unwanted network
Could you please try the following:
In a terminal window run the command
sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed
This turns off cups-browsed completely.
Does the problem go away by this?

I have the same problem. Setting "CreateIPPPrinterQueues" to "No"
doesn't change anything.
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.2 and under http://localhost:631/printers/ only
the manually added printers show up. The gnome settings or avahi or
something else keeps constantly adding all the printers in the
Note that the default setting for "CreateIPPPrinterQueues" in Ubuntu is

This is not a bug of Avahi, Avahi is only handling the DNS-SD
broadcasts. The queues are created by cups-browsed and which queues are
exactly created can be configured in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.
The dirctive to control this is "CreateIPPPrinterQueues". Set it to
"LocalOnly" or "No".
