IMHO, a clean way would be to write an ACT_SCANNER plugin that would
recognize the printer and declare them "dead" before ACT_GATHER_INFO
plugins start sending them data.
Can you provide more information on the printers?  e.g. 
        nmap -sS -sU -p 1-65553 host
And any banner seen on the open ports.

And also, just in case the printers use AppSocket:
echo -e '\r\n' | nc -u host 9101 | od -xc

The problem is with the dumb AppSocket or SocketAPI protocols. 
Anything that is sent to the port is printed.
