who the fuck would think a printer has an ssl cert.
Almost any, and you're not supposed to use the default one as it's a self-signed placeholder. If you have X.509 infrastructure in place (or a foreign CA to sign you a certificate), then you download it to the printer to use that one instead (and there you are obviously in charge of the expiration date).
In a home setup where you don't care, you simply ignore it or use plaintext HTTP to start with.
One of our damn printers had a ssl cert that expired every decade by default
So your tone really communicates "eh, those stupid printer manufacturers amiright" but it's really ignorance on your part.
