Ubuntu 18.04 adds network printers by itself, how to stop this?

Good afternoon!
Installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my work computer. Began to notice that the system itself adds network printers. I didn't add any manually. When you try to delete them, they are added back (see screenshot). How to stop it? I don't know if this is important or not, but Remmina is constantly working.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Thanks for the tip. I went to the article by keywords ( https://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=291407.0). Helped. in short:
nano /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf uncomment
the [server] section
and set
enable-dbus=no

There are a lot of tips on the Internet for disabling cups-browsed - but this does not always help.
Cups does not have these printers, and when printing in the printer selection dialog, there are 2 dozen positions.
Disabling avahi-daemon helps, but the solution is too drastic.
As far as I understand, it's all about self-publishing network printers via Bonjour. Disable this in the settings of the printers themselves and everything will work out.
