However, it will require a mechanism to shed off lunar dust that settles on the mirrors

What dust? The only dust that will be above ground level will be that kicked up by any activity - and that doesn't travel far and is short-lived. Each dust particle will behave the same as a large rock in the speed with which it falls back to the ground. Just situate the mirrors out of the arc of dust that the printing process might be raising, and they will remain pristine.
