the case, the printer automatically appends a number to the end of its name
when it’s turned on. The number may change each time you turn on the
printer. The printer administrator can change the name using the Apple
Printer Utility, as described in Chapter 2, or the Apple Printer Utility for
Windows, as described in Chapter 3.

printer icons. If you meant to do so, you can drag the icons to the Trash. If
not, you can reinstall the software as explained in Chapter 2.
