The default printer bit was not included in the Bonjour broadcasts intentionally as it can get confusing if there is more than one server advertising printers.
See https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4412. What you can do is marking any printer, the ones discovered by cups- browsed included, as default printer. As cups-browsed does not remove the local default printer when it shuts down (or when the printer disappears), the default setting once done stays conserved until changed.
