Let's eliminate Cups_PDF_oc3261540276 and PostScript_oc3261540276
first. These are local, manually set up print queues (not discovered).
The queue name doe not end with an underscore, indicating they are not
physical printers. (oc3261540276 identifies the host, but why that
format?)

The remaining five entries are printers. The "driverless, cups-filters"
indicates that cups-browsed has automatically set up local print queues
for them. They are on the same subnet as your device. 10/10 up to now
for the printing system.

This leaves two Canons and three HPs. What make is the printer in the
room? Canon? Still don't want to guess? Then

  avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp | grep -B 2 "10.76.172.100"

Another 10/10 fot the printing system and the tools it uses.

Of course, knowing the queue name in advance would be more desirable and
lead to less frustration.
