You can't password protect the printer but you can change the user groups that can use it.
Assuming she is in the group called Users, simply change the permissions on the printer to something like Power Users or Administrators (assuming your account is one of those).
Right-click the printer icon in Printers and Faxes (or wherever the damn thing is located...) and select the Security tab. Remove the group Everyone and/or Users. Make sure that Admins and/or Power Users is listed.
If other folks in your house need to print to it, you'll need to create a new group for them, and assign the new group to the pinter security, or place those users into Power Users or Admins.
Personally, I would create a new group for users that you do and don't want to use the printer.
