I guess I figured we'd want to "pin" the OAuth server URI and scope with the printer/system ("resource") URI...

>> When the client communicates with a printer the cache 1 is used (when the printer requires OAuth). If the printer is missing there or the current access token is rejected the client queries "oauth-authorization-server-uri" and "oauth-scope" from the printer and tries to match an entry in the cache 2. If the entry is found the client does TokenExchange (in the background) to get the new access token for the printer (and saves the new access token in the cache 1). If there is no matching entry in the cache 2, the client must go through the authorization procedure to get an access token for the authorization server and given scope ("oauth-authorization-server-uri" and "oauth-scope"). The authorization procedure here means standard Authorization Code flow with PKCE (opening the internet browser, letting the user to authenticate etc).

I think we need to support persistence beyond the current session, at least for "system" accounts and other background processes that might need access even after the user has logged out (accounting, monitoring, general printing, etc.) But for normal user sessions I agree the cached tokens can go away.
