Yes, but for everyone or no one. Not based on groups or users.

Add a $ to the end of the (print) share name. This convention keeps
a particular share from showing in browse lists.

Or you can turn off the server announcements -- still able to share
but NO SHARE on that server will show up.

In either case, users will have to know about the share, or you must
provide batch files to map them.
