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
