There is not currently a way to disable sharing of a particular printer. Some developers catch the attempt to print to a remote printer in their print dialog extension and give a warning there.

Is there any way to prevent a particular printer from being shared?
I have a pseudo printer, which really produces its output on a file.
When the printer is shared, and accessed from another computer, there
seems to be no information passed in the arguments that tell the path
back to the real user's machine, so it tries to write the file with
the user's path on the machine which owns the shared printer.
So, I need a way to disable sharing for this "printer"
