Problem description:
Basically in Carlson Surveyor there is somehow a large list of nonsense printers. I have no idea how this happened but I would like to par it down to what I actually have and not LOL PRINTER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Picture to demonstrate


This seems relegated to Carlson surveyor 2014. Any idea where it is digging up this printer list?

Attempted fixes:
After googling I found some fixes to remove printers through administrative tools -> print management. Some printers weren't properly removed since they had pending jobs when they were deleted. Clearing the jobs allowed them to be deleted. However, that was like 2 printers and I still have a massive list of them.

Recent changes:

I suspect this has happened to due to someone deleting and re-adding the same printer over and over again. Hence they used AAAAAAAAs to distinguish them.
