Disabling the properties button is not possible yet. I have added it for KDE 
3.4. I also noticed that print/system & print/selection wasn't working 
correctly and have fixed that for KDE 3.4 as well. So in KDE 3.4 you will 
have the following options available to restrict the print dialog:

Printing related action restrictions:

print/system
        - disables the option to select the printing system (backend). It is
          recommended to  disable this option once the correct printing
          system has been configured.

print/properties
        - disables the button to change printer properties or to add a new
          printer.

print/options
        - disables the button to select additional print options.

print/copies
        - disables the panel that allows users to make more than one copy.

print/selection
        - disables the options that allows selecting a (pseudo) printer or
          change any of the printer properties. Make sure that a proper
          default printer has been selected before disabling this option.
          Disabling this option also disables print/system, print/options
          and print/properties.

print/dialog
        - disables the complete print dialog. Selecting the print option will
          immediately print the selected document using default settings.
          Make sure that a system wide default printer has been selected.
          No application specific settings are honored.
 
Cheers,
Waldo
