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.
