The auto-creation of the queue (the one shown by 'lpstat -t' and that keeps coming back after deletion) is done by cups-browsed, not by CUPS. Let's try this: Purge cups-browsed with apt purge cups-browsed Then do rm rm /var/cache/cups/* (the files will be regenerated) and restart cups. systemctl restart cups 'lstsat -l -e' should show a printer name. Can it be used to print? 'lpstat -t' should not have implicitclass and should show the manually set up printer, Cheers, Brian.
