All the printers are local printers

The problem seems to only be associated with long printer names that are only
different at the end of the name.

I created a printer called MickyMouse and Writer picked it up and dumped it
after I deleted it.

So, I seems that you may need to increase the string (array of characters) you
are using to read in the printer names.  But that does not explain why you hold
on to a defunct name, unless the comparison between old names and new names is
also not being done on enough characters.
