Hi Severin

If you've got Printer Sharing turned on (System Preferences/Sharing) you
will sometimes get more then one of each printer. Turn it off and you should
then only get one of each.

Another way to try is to log on to CUPS printing. If you open up a web page
and type in <http://127.0.0.1:631/> you can delete them from there. You can
also manage print jobs, look at what print jobs have been done,...it's all
very interesting actually.

Enjoy! I hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel Kerr
