Settings -> Printers automatically adds "EPSON_L3160_Series" device but
it is unusable. I cannot remove it as it keeps getting automatically
added. It is also completely unusable and its "Printing Options" shows
blank. "Printing Details" shows Address: null, Driver: "EPSON EPSON
L3160 Series".

When I search for printers it gets detected again, now as Name: "L3160",
Address: "localhost" Driver: "EPSON L3160 Series, driverless". I guess
these automatically detected drivers are fine because it is printing
(although it also has some issues).

Before adding this second one the first one is shown in the list of
printing applications, but keeps saying "Retrieving information" status.
After the second one is added, the first one disappears from the list in
the applications, although it is still present in the
Settings->Printers.


1. Don't know if this printer gets automatically re-added, or it just
disappeares from the Settings UI when it is not actually deleted.
Because CUPS web ui, and the applications are not showing the one that
keeps comming back in the Settings->Printers ui

2. If it keeps getting re-added why is it not automatically set up as
when I go Add... and click on it

3. When I wait a bit more in the Add... search, I get 3 printers (check
attachement). The one that comes up immediately (the first one) is the
working one from description above. But the third one also works. I
guess all 3 point to the same physical printer.

Why is this happening and can it be improved?
