pressman
Runs the printer
A pressman operates a printing press, the person who runs the machinery that produces newspapers, books, or other printed materials.
The term dates from when printing was a craft requiring physical strength and technical skill.
In British usage, pressman can also mean a journalist or newspaper reporter—someone who works for the press in its publishing sense rather than its mechanical one.
