Error in print module using non-attached printer

using Mac 13.2.1 and Lightrom Classic 12.2 on a Macbook Pro with M1 chip

I have a couple of printers installed with a mnaul fake IP address. I wanted to check on some Lightroom options for a class I am teaching. . When I select those faked IP addressed printer Epson 5000 or Canon pro1000 it causes hundreds of pops up to appear when selecting that printer. the pop ups do not appear if I select any printer acttually installed or on the network at home.

Expected behavior would be to either say printer not online or avaialable or invoke the printer dialog box and allow for selection of features and settings.

This has worked in the past and I have done this numerous times in teh past teaching specfic printers to classes.
