How can we turn off the automatic printer discovery in Ubuntu?

I already tried to turn it off in /etc/cups/cups-browsed-conf by setting:

BrowseRemoteProtocols none
BrowseLocalProtocols none
BrowseProtocols none

But this did not work. Printers are still being found automatically within the printer system settings window.

I have also tried to turn off cups-browsed:

sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed
sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed

But this also did not work.

What must be done to keep Ubuntu quiet regarding network discovery for printers?
