Bit of a desperate idea I'll admit, but what about deleting all the devices, and then running bleachbit appropriately configured to try and clean up the system, before starting again.
That does sound a bit desperate, and I'm not sure that it would be the right approach anyway. If there was an errant driver somewhere it might be an approach, but it seems to me that this is a problem with the way that CUPS handles devices that it detects on the system and / or the network. Deleting all the files associated with these printers is likely to trigger another round of erroneous drivers.
My preferred approach would be to raise a bug report on the Ubuntu / CUPS bug tracker and see if anything shows up. If nothing comes of this query on this list, I'll do that tomorrow.
