The printers were added later. I first noticed this on my hackintosh which runs 10.5.0. It only has a network printer but it also stays in the dock until I manually close it once it's called to print. Just for S & G I down graded the DA to Tiger using A&I. The printers icons now disappear from the dock once the print job is complete. I wasn't really happy with Leopard on this system anyway and the DA originally had 10.4 on it when I got it. It now performs better and the icons act like they should.
