Yes, you have to modify CUPS' browsing settings on both the local
machine and the remote one, if you want to prevent both the remote
CUPS from announcing itself, and the local one to read remote 
announce messages.

Check cupsd.conf and do the browsing modifications, the file is well
commented (at least under Debian), then restart both CUPS daemons.
