Ubuntu

Deleted printer always rediscovered and added automatically.

Asked by Jacques on 2021-02-10

In Ubuntu desktop, in the printers settings is listed a printer that does not belong to me. When I delete this printer, the system tells me that it was successfully deleted. But few seconds after, I have a notification at the top of the screen telling me that the same printer had been discovered and aded. How can I delete a printer for good when I do not want to use it on Ubuntu? Thank you.

This is Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, Desktop.
