It sounded to me like you simply need to disable a single action, as described 
in README.kiosk. However, it turns out to be a bit more complex than that.

This simply script shows all actions and their captions:

------
APP="kjobviewer"
dcop $APP $APP-mainwindow\#1 actions | while read ACTION
do
    printf "%-20s" "$ACTION:"
    dcop `dcop $APP $APP-mainwindow\#1 action "$ACTION"` text
done
------

This results in the following output:

------
plugin_priodown:    &Decrease Priority
help_about_kde:     About &KDE
help_about_app:     &About KJobViewer
help_whats_this:    What's &This?
file_close:         &Close
plugin_ipp:         &Job IPP Report...
job_resume:         &Resume
refresh:            Refresh
filter_modify:      &Select Printer
job_hold:           &Hold
job_move:           &Move to Printer...
plugin_editjob:     &Edit Attributes...
help_contents:      KJobViewer &Handbook
file_quit:          &Quit
plugin_prioup:      &Increase Priority
job_remove:         R&emove
help_report_bug:    &Report Bug...
view_username:      User Name
view_completed:     &Toggle Completed Jobs
view_user_jobs:     Show Only User Jobs
options_configure:  &Configure KJobViewer...
job_restart:        Res&tart
------

As you can see the option 'Select Printer' is there, but the items in the 
submenu are not. And I couldn't find a way to get hold of those items 
either. :(

Many thanks to Aaron Seigo for helping me figuring this one out, the rest of 
the explanation below is also his credit because I couldn't get the action 
restriction working, amongst other things :)

If you don't mind disabling the entire menu you can create an action 
restriction for kjobviewer by putting this in kjobviewerrc:

------
[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
action/filter_modify=false
------

The code seems to be using a KActionMenu, which doesn't allow disabling 
individual items in the menu. It will need a fix in KDE first, but I doubt it 
can be done in time for 3.4.
