Hi
I was having printer issues, trying to print jobs just resulting in the system waiting and waiting and not actually printing anything. I deleted the printer from the Settings -> Printers and added it again, This got things working, however whenever I open the Settings the original printer is back in the list of printers, along with the new one that I added. Everytime I delete it, but when I open settings again it's back.
How can I actually delete the printer?
If I go to the CUPS settings, i.e. open http://localhost:631 only the new working printer is listed.
So it seems that something else is finding this old printer and adding it back, in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf I set BrowseRemoteProtocols to none and restarted cups-browsed.service to see if it was trying to he helpful and setup the printer automatically. That however didn't seem to help?
Any idea how I can actually delete this old broken printer configuration so it doesn't keep coming back?
Cheers
Adam

Maybe a little heavy handed but I managed to fix this by setting BrowseRemoteProtocols, BrowseLocalProtocols, and BrowseProtocols all to none.
