18.04 will not delete printer - keeps returning

Just installed 18.04, my wireless printer appears in Settings > Devices > Printers but doesn't connect/print.

I have therefore downloaded the printer driver from the manufacturer, Pantum, and installed it, this has created a new printer in the list which works.

Now I want to remove the non working one, I can delete it but then if I return to the page it is back.

I have followed these instructions: Cannot remove printer cups adds it back with no result. In CUPS I only have one printer (the working one).

Never had these issues with 16.04 and missing Unity already...


Solution 1:

edit

/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf

Then make change:

BrowseRemoteProtocols none

save and then restart CUPS

service cups restart

Solution 2:

Set CreateRemoteCUPSPrinterQueues and CreateIPPPrinterQueues in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf to "No" and restart cups-browsed service.
