This is CUPS broadcasting a list of available printers. All the other
CUPS servers on your network will pick it up (if so configured).
You can change it by setting
Browsing off
in /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf (or dpkg-reconfigure cupsys).
This isn't a bug in CUPS--it's the way it has been configured to
behave.
