So, on this Ubuntu 18.04 box* running Files 3.26.4 under Other Locations I have this entry for a long gone Brother printing station thing: Screenshot of GNOME Files 3.26.4 showing "Other Locations" with an entry under "Network" named "brcm93390smwvg2-2"

Unfortunately, I could not find any documentation on this anywhere and searching for the raw string in gconf-editor, dconf-editor and recursively grepping .config also did not bring up any hits.
