Random Background Items Added

I keep getting alerts and I think it is related to printer software. I cannot for the life of me find these things to get rid of them! All background items are turned off in system preferences (I am on Ventura). Please help!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1

"Background Items Added" for seemingly nonexistent software I keep getting alerts related to this printer software. Please help me get rid of these notifications! I don't see anything labeled Epson on my computer. After I stopped using an Epson printer, I deleted everything labeled Epson. That was months ago. I am running macOS Ventura 13.3.1 on a MacBook Air.

Kodak AiOBonjourAgent message appears at log-in Hello, my 2011 MacBook Pro displays the message "do you want the application Kodak AiOBonjourAgent to accept incoming connections" at log-in. I can't remember when I first became aware of this, but I can categorically say I've never owned a Kodak printer! Looking at a previous thread on this forum, I've deleted the 3 Kodak files from the "Launch Agent" Library folder (and also deleted them from the Trash) but the message is still appearing. Obviously it's not having any effect on anything and it's easily dismissed, but I would like to get rid of it once and for all, any suggestions? Thanks in anticipation!

I’d suggest uninstalling their software, then reinstall, but I don’t know how to do that. Check with Epson.

I have an Epson printer, but I don’t install any Epson software. I just use the AirPrint and ICA drivers.
