Generally, I think the answer is "yes" :).
The smb.conf doc file gives the following example of a printer share:
[aprinter]
path = /usr/spool/public
writeable = false
printable = true
guest ok = true
I would try changing this to the following as an example of allowing only
certain users/groups:
[aprinter]
path = /usr/spool/public
writeable = false
printable = true
guest ok = false
valid users = you, me, @their_group, @our_group
You'll have to test that, though - I don't have the time myself :). This
example assumes, of course, that all of your users/groups are set up
properly..
Hope it works,

Subject: [Samba] Restricting Access to Samba Shared Printers?
Is it possible (and if so, how) within Samba to restrict printers to be
using by only certain users/groups? We have a printer dedicated to
printing our checks that was using one of those '4 PCs -> 1 printer'
devices. We've been constantly having problems with transmissions
getting garbled when using the printer sharer (everything's fine if a PC
is directly connected), and with Samba running like a top, I'd rather
move it to the network.
We're using version 2.2.4 of Samba.
Thanks,
