Duplicate printers

Hi, strange problem. In control panel only one version of both of my printers shows. If I print from Firefox, for example, several versions of the same printer are visible, e.g. "copy 1", etc. If I try to rename the visible printer I get an error stating that the name is in use, even though the printer doesn't show in control panel. How can I get rid of all these copies? Rebooting, unplugging then replugging the printer has no effect.
