cups-browsed 1.3.0 has the BrowseFilter directive. Users concerned about
remote raw queues showing as local queues have the means to filter out
such queues based on a criterion they choose.

For example, looking at the Bonjour Printing Specification at

  https://developer.apple.com/bonjour/printing-specification/bonjourprinting-1.2.pdf

there is a TXT record key for "product". Section 9.2.7 has

  For PostScript printers and non-PostScript printers that use a
  CUPS driver, the value for this key SHOULD match the value of 
  the “Product” stored in the driver’s PPD file (including the
  parentheses).....

A raw queue has no PPD file so the key value is "Unknown". 

Reverting the change in 1.0.55 would restore flexibility to the display
of published raw queues.
