It's the CentOS 8 CUPS client that doesn't offer to use shared printers. Does CUPS 2.x perhaps have some hidden setting to operate as a client vs. as a server? I've never had to configure that before. OK, I've found a workaround of not bothering with cupsd service locally and just putting a ServerName in /etc/cups/client.conf . That means there is no local spool to accept jobs if the print server or network is down temporarily, but for my use that's acceptable.
