John,
I have a Xerox 6280 that does similar crap. The first Google search I
did came across a dpkg -config command that turned off the automatic
remote printer configuration. I just looked again and found this link:
<https://askubuntu.com/questions/345083/how-do-i-disable-automatic-remote-printer-installation>
where you turn off cups-browsed. All of which is to say there is more
than one way to get there. You just have to be confident that you can
manually configure your printer.
Configure your printer and ignore the automatic stuff.

I have a single printer, an HP Laserjet MFP M29W. This is a
black-and-white laser printer with built-in scanner, connected to
happening Ubuntu machine via an USB cable. For some reason, it shows up
in Ubuntu as two separate printers, named HP_LaserJet_MFP_M28-M31 and
HP_LaserJet_MFP_M29W_7F4E86_ but using the same printer driver built
into the kernel, drvless.ppd. I can print to either one. Removing either
printer definition in settings results in it reappearing a few
seconds later. Does anyone know why this is happening? Should I disable
one of them?
