Printer icon stays in dock after printing

Whereas before, once the print job was completed, the printer icon would automatically disappear. Can't seem to find any option to have it auto-close. A right mouse click on the icon while in the dock only allows me to (1) Remove from dock (this is automatic, I have to do this each time after I print); (2) Open at Login; (3) Show in Finder. System Preference don't seem to have an option. And the printer software (HP) does not seem to have anything either. Not sure why it suddenly started doing this.

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 11.6
