Ubuntu is keeping browsing the LAN and installing printers automatically.

How to stop that?

1 - I have tried :

sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed
sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed

2 - I have tried editing

/etc/cups/cups-browsedconf

and replacing BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd cups by

BrowseRemoteProtocols none

But both solution doesn't work.

Thanks for your help.

update - list of printers in both screens, I don't understand why in the screen with only two printers, there isn't all the printers listed in the background screen.

Have you deleted all printers from CUPS after stopping the service? They don't drop off automatically. – Terrance Jun 03 '19 at 16:12
