When printing, Firefox shows printers that are no longer connected to my Mac and were removed from my Mac printer settings in preferences. But, I am unable to remove them from Firefox. I already tried clearing the printer settings by clicking "Clear saved print settings" in troubleshooting, but the old printer names are still showing up.

Try to run the printer troubleshooter: a. Press Windows key+X. b. Click on Control Panel. c. Click on Troubleshooting. d. On the left pane, click on view all. e. From the list, double-click on the printer. f. Run the printer troubleshooter.

I am on a Mac. Also, this is not a problem with my system's printer settings, it is only when printing using Firefox printer dialogue that I see the older printers in the Destination list.
