Bug summary
After reinstalling my system while still using my old home folder files I have a problem with one printer.
- It appears a "brother" printer in the printer dialog of Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, FreeOffice and so on. (see attachment No. 3)
- BUT this printer does not appear neither in the print-manager nor in localhost:631. (see attachments No. 2 and 1) Installing the printer in these two applications and deleting it does not make any changes.
- This "ghost-printer" does not keep my settings e.g. for double sided printing. Also it seems to be in conjunction with that problem that scanning with simple-scan is not possible double-sided by the feeder anymore.
Is there any way to completely extinguish this "ghost-printer" and even to solve that problem?
I had reported this issue under: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424293 But they refered me to your community.
Because I am not a professional Linux guy, please provide clear step by step information for help in case. Thanks.
