Are you the network admin or server manager?

Without knowing your specifics, this seems like it could be GPO (group policy), web services, device discovery, device sharing, any of a number of things. You have some sort of auto-install, sharing, or conflicting sharing from both peer user profiles and server.

You can search the web on "phantom printer" or "ghost printer" to see similar descriptions.
