Why does the system display this printer twice after I removed it?
I had CUPs installed, but just cleaned it from my system.
I deleted all the printers from the Gnome panel.
Yet when I ask to select a printer, there are two queues/connections to the same physical printer (I have only one printer at home). Only the first queue/connection will print anything. The other one just sends the job to la-la land without complaint or notification.
How does my system even know about this printer after I purged CUPS from my system and deleted the remaining queues from Gnome panel, and why does it show two connections to it?
Also, what is that printer named "print" whose status is rejecting jobs? Where did it find that?

I strongly believe that you did not purge the cups package completely, if you are still getting printers to display in any Print dialog, or even the Print.
Check:
systemctl status cupsorservice cups status.ls /etc/cups/*dpkg -l | grep cups
CUPS is the current de-facto printing server for linux. I only know of one other method of physically printing from linux, which is with sending postscript files with lpr directly to printers. The only other option is sending your files with another file transferring method (email, copy to ftp etc.) to some remote server, with a connected remote printer with WAN connection, that essentially polls for new files in specific server path, and responds to printing requests sent through unconventional means, but with predetermined form and syntax and prints them out accordingly at some remote location.
