Well, what I see is that on old wheezy clients after a BrowsePoll i get the printers queues exactly like on the server. On Jessie clients after cups-browser work (and automatic BrowsePoll) I get the queues that looks differently. Both BrowsePoll are getting the queues from my jessie-tjener in productions since july 2015. I suspect that older cups-client gets ppd from tjener and that the newer Jessie cups-clients get the queues from the tjener BUT the ppd directly from the printer, just because of the new default ppd distribution policy of cups server. IIRC I read some time ago, somewhere, about this policy change in cups/ppd distribution. Maybe I'm totally wrong; but the different looking queues are there.
