Does anyone have any guidance that can be posted on a company intranet site, positioning the situation and stance printers/copiers in an office environment, perhaps FAQ/Answers to ease any concerns?

From manufacturers website:
18. Do HP printers have any chemical emissions?
All HP Inkjet and LaserJet printer platforms are tested during the development process to determine airborne emissions. The concentrations of ozone, volatile organic compounds and particles anticipated to be generated under expected conditions of use are consistently below worldwide occupational health standards, as well as stringent indoor air quality guidelines. Many of HP's printers have been qualified as "low-emitting" products under the German Blue Angel and US GREENGUARD ecolabel programs.
As a good practice in maintaining a comfortable work environment, printer systems should be installed in well-ventilated areas. In addition, it is important to select media (papers), toners and inks that have been characterized and are recommended for use with the system (refer to your user's manual).
probably available from all different manufacturers and maybe even specific to your specific printer model.

All printers should be in a well ventilated area, particularly those where the process involves heating to fix the toner to the paper.
I had a case some years ago of a lady who developed a rash on her face when using the photocopier for long periods in a small room with little ventilation. What I found was that the copy paper contained a minute amount of formaldehyde. Normally this was inert but was driven off when the paper was heated. The fan on the copier was removing this into the room. Intermittent use did not result in a problem, but long periods of copying caused a build-up of formaldehyde in the air, resulting in airborne, facial, allergic contact dermatitis.
