Is this the same printer?

[Bakerbritt5]

I went to print a document from the Internet and clicked print quickly. It says it printed to an old HP Envy 5400 that wasn’t even plugged in. I checked the queue after a few minutes and it said it was on 3/5, but my printer that was plugged in had nothing. I realized it says it went to the old printer type, so I plugged that printer in. It then showed I had two Envy 5400s in the printer devices (see picture). It printed to the second one, and the first one in the list is the one I plugged in after. Are they they same computer? They have the same number, which is the MAC address. 

At one point, I tried to run a test page and the second in the list said it was out of paper and wouldn’t print. The first in the list was not showing as out of paper. So is it two different printers? Did I accidentally possibly print to someone else’s printer even though I’ve never used it before? What happened to the few pages it says it printed before I cancelled it? Are these the same printer?

It is doubtful you printed to someone else's printing that is the same printer you used to have connected to your network.

Yes, both HP 5400's are the same printer.

Switch off the old HP 5400 (if it is still switched on).
