It's not that it's per-application -- rather, it's done in the client
libraries of CUPS (libcups) rather than in the server.

One reason to do it this way is to avoid needing to run a CUPS server on
the client at all, while still retaining automatic discovery.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

If you're using F-18 clients and want things to work "as before", use
CUPS Browsing. For that you'll need to enable cups-browsed on the server
and configure it to announce printers using the "CUPS" protocol rather
than DNS-SD.
