No, you can't make printers "invisible" with a script.
Printers installed on the TS will be visible to any user, although
you can set the printer permissions to allow *printing* with these
printers to certain user groups only.
If you want users to see only the appropriate printers, then make
sure that they have the proper printer connections on their
workstation, and then redirect their workstation printers into
their TS session.
