Stop Ubuntu From Automatically Adding Printers (18.04/20.04)

Issue:

On a new install of Ubuntu 18.04 at work, it was adding every printer it discovered. Every time I tried deleting the printers, it kept re-adding them.


Open this file:

/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

Add this line:

enable-dbus=no
