That seems a bit strange to me. Maybe my instructions were not that good 
after all, so I installed a remote printer on a 16.04 machine (I don't 
have 15.10 anywhere). Then I connected to that machine via ssh and 
opened the page in firefox like explained above. Funnily the dialog on 
that machine was in English for whatever reason. Then I made a 
screenshot of the point where you can delete the printer. I have 
attached the picture.
