Samba should only show printers that are actually shared by cupsd, so  
if you just want to prevent printing from any remote host you can  
toggle the "printer-is-shared" setting, either from the web interface  
or with lpadmin:

     lpadmin -p printer -o printer-is-shared=true/false

No.

Correct. See:

     http://localhost:631/help/policies.html

for some examples.
