It does exist. It's the printer in Millbank.

I don't know, but believe that it *does* work. I don't know because it
has been several weeks since I was in Millbank, and while I vaguely
remember it working, I can't be absolutely certain.

See above. I'm not sure if it works or not, but I believe it does not.

I can check on the USB connection to my Epson printer, but not for
another hour or so. (I have the printer in my daughters' room, which
also serves as my server closet. :-) Fwiw, when I print to file or
print PDF, that works....
