For that to make sense, you would need to have a printer which used  
Kerberos auth and defined a (nonstandard) authentication protocol.

If what you really want is to control access to the server's print  
queue for the printer, the connection to the printer itself is  
irrelevant.  But access to the print server must be over ipp:  I don't  
think CUPS implements the lpd extensions from the moribund LPRng  
project, and socket protocol doesn't make sense for this.
