Follow up:

These are not extras that did not delete when I deleted the originals.  What
transpired was the I was experimenting with several way to access a parallel
port card and had created several printers using "_rn6" at the end of their
names.  "_rn6" is the host name of the computer.

What I "thought" were un-deleted printers was actually the name cups tacks on
to a printer that is shared on the network.   Cups was also using my host name.
 And it took me several day to realize I was looking at a "coincidence". 
"cupsGetDests2" in its "ultimate  wisdom" list both the local name and the
shared name:

Cups-PDF   <-- local printer name
Cups_PDF_rn6 <-- shared name

Virtual_PDF_Printer  <-- local printer name
Virtual_PDF_Printer_rn6  <--shared name

So, a bit confusing to show a local printer and its shared network name, but
that is the way cupsGetDests2 works, so "not a bug".

Thank you for all your patience with this.
