From /usr/share/doc/cupsys-driver-gutenprint/README.gz:
    * Back ends for driving Canon and Epson printers, named "canon"
      and "epson". These provide the ability to get information from
      the printer for CUPS to use, and are normally installed in
      /usr/lib/cups/backend.

I have the same with my HP DeskJet 3820 printer.
I agree we should not see CANON or EPSON printers being found by CUPS if there is no Epson or Canon printer connected, which is the case for my HP printer.

Reopening this bug as either a cupsys or gutenprint issue.
