Big Sur 11.5.1 update resulted in changed Image Capture.app behavior on my 2019 iMac

Greetings:

Coincident with doing the Big Sur 11.5.1 update, every time I start up my 2019 iMac the Image Capture.app opens on its own and shows a connection to my Epson ET-3760 multifunction printer with "waiting for scanner" displayed.

In System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, deleted and then reconnected to the printer, but the problem remains.

The multifunction printer is connected to the iMac via AirPrint:

Any guidance to stop this behavior appreciated!

Right after posting this, I thought I should take a look at the Login Items list just to check Apple Menu > Users&Groups >Login Items and sure enough, Image Capture had somehow been added to the list.

Have removed it, and am now testing if this solved the problem.

And it seems we have a winner. Very odd that the app should suddenly (and apparently spontaneously) appear in the Login Items list, but you learn something new every day.
