You could put a Cancel in the Before_Print event of that workbook (to reside in ThisWorkbook object)
Though obviously they could just copy the data to another workbook and/or not enable macros in the first instance... ie it is not as simple as the above as it can be circumvented relatively easily...

Of course there's the old tried & trusted: ask them not to print given confidential info.

Here i have a trick to stop users to print work sheet .......
Suppose you have data in Sheet1
1. Now copy the Data from Sheet1
2. Go in Sheet2. Press Shift > Edit > Paste Picture Link
3. Now your sheet1 will be pasted in Sheet2. Any change in Sheet1 will be automatically changed.
4. Now in Sheet2, select Pic & Format > Picture > Properties and Uncheck Print Object. & don't move or size with cells.
5. Now protect the worksheet by un-checking all boxes of sheet protection. Your sheet2 will be appear on screen but no one can print it thru excel.
6. Now hide sheet1 thru VBA windows -> Properties.
Note : you can not stop anyone to print as they can take use print screen option.
