printing-house
Where publications originate
A printing-house is an establishment where printing is done—a print shop or publishing facility.
The term is old-fashioned, largely replaced by printing press, print shop, or publisher: Benjamin Franklin worked in a printing-house as a young man.
The hyphenated form is traditional but increasingly appears as two words.
