"ghost-Printer" can found in print dialog

SUMMARY
After reinstalling my system while still using my old home folder files I have a problem with one printer.
1. It appears a "brother" printer in the printer dialog of Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, FreeOffice and so on. See attachment
2. BUT this printer does not appear neither in the print-manager nor in localhost:631. See EXTRA attachments.
Installing the printer in these two applications and deleting it does not make any changes.
3. This "ghost-printer" does not keep my settings e.g. for double sided printing. Also it seems to be in conjunction with that problem that scanning with simple-scan is not possible double-sided by the feeder.

Is there any way to completely extinguish this "ghost-printer"?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

This is the GTK printer dialog. You should report it to the GTK developers as we don't have any control over it.

You can do so here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/
