I don't think it is possible, unless you are using custom printer management software like openspool.

If the clients are using the printer as a remote printer, you should be able to deny access in /var/adm/inetd.sec
try adding
printer deny ip_address

for each client you want to deny. If your allow list is shorter you might want to replace the deny with an allow. You can also substitute subnet values for ip_address.
Good Luck.
