I cleaned up a bunch of my unused printers.
Problem: printers with the same long name, except for the end still show in certain programs.

Which is the way it is suppose to be. And match http://127.0.0.1:621 and Printer Admin
But programs using reading printers using cupsGetDests2, still get the old deleted printers:
The C text: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=167701
The Binary: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=167702
#include <iostream>
#include <cups/cups.h>
int main() {
cups_dest_t* dests;
int nCount = cupsGetDests2(CUPS_HTTP_DEFAULT, &dests);
for (int i = 0; i < nCount; i++) {
cups_dest_t dest = dests;
std::cout << dest.name << std::endl;
}
}

Programs without the problem (a sampling):
Brave Browser, Firefox, Vivaldi, Water Fox, Leafpad, Simple scan, Gimp, Inkscape, Thunderbird, Geany, Shotwell, PDF Studio 2019
Programs with the problem (also a sampling):
Wine, Libre Office, Free Office, Master PDF Editor
Any ideas? Is cupsGetDests2 not the proper way of doing this?
