I was thinking that we could do something gross like provide a URI instead of just a hostname for the resource parameter to token exchange endpoint, and embed the fingerprint in the URI. It seems like we might need to send a URI anyway since the print server may host more than one printer, and the token exchange ought to target a specific printer, not just a "host". But this is veering into questionable terrain.

Agreed.

Alternately, the Authentication Service would be given the printer's certificate (possibly self-signed), but that is weaker in a few ways.

I think it will be fairly common for the AS, the Printer, and (when applicable) the Infrastructure Printer to have certificates using different roots of trust.  In fact, the only time they will use the same CA is in enterprise networks that provide their own private AS, CA, etc.

For a public OpenID service, the operator of that service will use a random public CA.  The Infra Printer and Printer will likely use different random CAs, with the Printer/Peoxy possibly sharing a root with the Infra Printer (as is the case with Azure Universal Print Service instances), although in the Infra case the Client will be talking to the Infra Printer so the Printer/Proxy's certificate doesn't matter for OAuth.
