It might not take affect until you restart Acad. I'm not sure because I
just turn it off in the options dialog box, and never worry about it again.
If it changes back after you restart Acad, let me know and I (or someone
else who knows) will let you know another way to do it. I don't know one
off hand.

tried that. even tried putting it in it's own lsp file. nope. I'm running
civil 3d 2006, could that have something to do with it.

Nope, I just tested in C3D 2006 and it works fine.

Note that you must copy it EXACTLY as Tim showed it. Capitalization
counts........

(setenv "HideSystemPrinters" "1")
immediately toggled the checkbox in the Options dialog and disallowed me to
select my usual printer.
