Response:

Our multi-functional devices and printers are provided via the Home Office and are part of a wider Home Office contract the GLAA has. The GLAA does not hold details of the printer contract or service and are not charged for the provision. You may wish to submit an FOI to the Home Office at foirequests@homeoffice.gov.uk.
