You have always had (and always will) have that choice; the ability to disable automatic printer discovery has been present since discovery was added with CUPS 1.2 (released back in 2006!)
I'll have to see if I can find that option. Thanks for the hint.
fyi, also useful,
man cups-browsed

systemctl disable cups-browsed systemctl disable avahi-daemon
setup printers @ dhcp/dns explicitly, and avoid autodiscovery 'surprises' altogether.
cups-browsed isn't enabled by default, FWIW.
But disabling mDNS altogether might cause undesired regerssions elsewhere. If all you want to do is prevent CUPS from auto-discovering remote printers, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and set 'Browsing Off'
