Everyone,

I have installed cpus-pdf on a new Centos 7.8 machine and am having a few problems.  The
first problem that I would like to address the following:

I used the web interface maba:631 to install the printer as Cups-PDF-Maba using Cups-PDF as
the driver in order to have a different name on network with reference to another machine
running Cups-PDF. After the creation I identified the existence of Cups-PDF-Maba, but then
after a little while two additional entries appeared. 

I get multiple references to Cups-PDF-Maba with lpstat -a.

Cups-PDF-MaBa accepting requests since Sun 06 Sep 2020 10:36:51 AM CDT
Cups-PDF-MaBa-localhost accepting requests since Mon 07 Sep 2020 02:42:08 AM CDT
Cups-PDF-MaBa at localhost accepting requests since Mon 07 Sep 2020 02:24:00 AM CDT

Is this a problem?  
Do I need to find a way to delete the two extraneous entries that reference localhost.

When I list the printers on the web interface the results are :
▼ Queue Name            Description	       Location	          Make and Model           
Cups-PDF-MaBa	        Create PDF file     MaBa	          Generic CUPS-PDF Printer 
Cups-PDF-MaBa-localhost	Create PDF file	    localhost (Port: 631) Local Raw Printer
Cups-PDF-MaBa at localhost	Create PDF file	    localhost (Port: 631) Local Raw Printer

Thank you for your help in understanding what is happeing !!
