might Ubuntu be picking up IPP or WDS "broadcasts" from the printer and auto-adding it that way? Seems my Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop VM auto-adds my newer HP laser as well. I certainly didn't add it deliberately.

Eldredge" <j...@jfeldredge.com> To: nlug-talk@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2022 4:21:53 PM Subject: [nlug] Single printer shows up as two printers in Ubuntu 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? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
