Usually there is an "About" link. I have just asked google and she told me how to find out.
whether I use chrome or explorer all I ever get is the page but no header bar or command bar that has file save, history, about, hhelp, etc.

I went many years without a printer
I work from home and my company considers me hooking up a printer to my work computer a severe security violation unless I go through all kind of hoops to get permission.
It is nice to have a personal one. Was going to mailbox plus with a USB if I needed something printed personally
Was in Costco a few months ago and they had a printer/scanner/copier for just 49 dollars
Bought it. HP Office Jet 5255. Works great. What a price :-)

was going to buy a usb-cable connected printer to actually use rather than have my non-functioning wireless printer keep taking up space.
printer drivers are security weak points and often driver updates stay connected to a network that is thought to be air-gapped.

Haven't had a printer in 15 years,
I never use them. If I need something
printed the library does it for 10 cents.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I use a wireless connection to my printer
If I am not using it, it stays off
If I am using it, I turn it on, print, turn it off

On your work computer
Do you just have 1 display monitor or 2?
I currently have 1
but
I run so many different pieces of software, screen gets crowded
Was in our team group chat and associates surprised I only had 1 screen.
Company ordered a second display and I just got it.
Excited to unclutter my display

I use 2.

I have the capability for 3 but rarely use the 3rd one.
