I would like to open up responses to the floor...

"Hello help, 
I seem to have lost my local printer here at the [REDACTED].  Can I possibly get some assistance in finding it. "

Yeah...

As an update, the guy was very well humored when I called him. I used the decidedly tame and safe line of "Did you check the Lost and Found?"

Look under "Printers." Look under the table if you don’t find it there.

Possible responses...

"There it is"

"I haven't moved it."

"Where you left it."

"It's more than likely that you could get some assistance.", or simply "Yes"

"There on the stair, right there, a little printer with clogs on!"

I like that one! Especially good if you have a "start here" at the front door, then have the path go winding through as many of the corridors as possible before ending at the user's desk.

Awesome! :)

Something like a disused lavatory with a sign saying “Beware of the Leopard”?

maybe a Where's Waldo-inspired picture? and you can hand it to them (well, maybe the next user that asks) and say, "I don't know, but let's find it together! and then, milk and cookies and naptime. Yay!!!"

:D

This calls for a police line-up of possible printers, a la http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2000/6/26/

It went shopping for new clothes, it turns out that printers have stylus.
