To prevent the the browse information from leaving server B by
broadcast, just drop the BrowseAddress directive entirely. I'd also set:

BrowseOrder Deny, Allow
BrowseAllow from localhost

This should prevent server A from pulling browse data from server B
directly. 

The location directive ought to prevent people from sending jobs to the
printer, assuming the config file version is typo free :-)
