hiding installed printer
I would like to hide the installed printers from my users. This mean the users would not be able to see the installed printers in Control Panel, Office applications etc. I could not do a remove to these printers simply becoz I have a printer driver that would actually send print jobs to these installed printers.
Anyone has any idea on how to achieve this?

As SIRBOUNTY commented use a $ after the share name, because share Names With a "$" Character at the End Are Hidden

I have not tried the above two solutions. But if i create a user group, would the user not in this group still be able to see the printer? coz i dont want to let them see it at all.

Just share it with a $ after the name...
Otherwise, create a group, and disallow rights to use the printer on that group...
