If you don't mind losing the features that rely on Netbios to work you can simply disable it in CWIS
Just go to Properties>Connectivity>Protocols>Microsoft Networking and disable that, this one will just wipe out the print ability for anyone who installed the print driver via browsing for a network printer instead of installing it manually. This does not apply to those that browsed to an inhouse print server though. It will also disable the ability to get to the devices webui via Hostname instead of its IP address.
I don't believe there are any other places that have Netbios options, although scan to smb/ftp typically requires it for scanning to a hostname as opposed to the IP address, so in the case of DHCP networks this can cause a real headache.
Just remember what you disable as you might start getting calls from users asking why their printer disappeared, their scans stopped working, the bookmark in their browser stopped working so they can't get to the printers webpage, and of course if the user calls Xerox instead of you, or someone who knows these things were disabled, there is the possibility a tech will be paged to fix it by reloading the printer and wiping all data.
