Well what do you actually want to do with them ?
If it's just configuration of VLANS etc.. the obvious solution is to use 
mac based authentication on the switch the printers are connected to...
Not that secure ... but they are printers... shouldn't be on a sensitive 
network anyway.

Unless your talking about the printers doing auth/autz via RADIUS for 
users spooling print jobs to them...
