You can change this setting following the instructions given in the post below! See how to enable or disable Printer Sharing in Windows Sandbox.
Printer sharing happens to be a key feature in the Windows family for sharing files and printers on the network with other users. It can be useful on home networks but may pose a serious threat to public networks.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Sandbox.
Create a new 32-bit DWORD value ‘AllowClipboardRedirection’.
Now, to disable the printer sharing in Windows Sandbox set the value for the above entry to 0.
To enable the same, delete the above value.
Similarly, you can use the Group Policy Editor to make the desired changes.

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Sandbox.
