If you do 'apt show cups-browsed' you can see why that would probably help. Try 'sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed.service' first. If that stops the extra printer queue from showing up, then you can stop it from starting up again at the next boot with 'sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed.service'. Other alternatives: 1. Set 'CreateIPPPrinterQueues' to 'No' in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf 2. Set 'BrowseRemoteProtocols' to 'none' or 'cups' in the same file 3. Set 'BrowseAllow' to a range that excludes the printer, also in the same file. I think either of these would solve the issue. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?"
