I've been contemplating purchasing a printer to check my work during my internship before sending it out to the people that I am working with. Is purchasing a printer going to be worth the investment and has anyone here purchased one for WFH? If so, any printer recommendations? Thanks!

I don't think that you will be allowed to print during WFH. Our work machines freak out if you plug any memory storage device into them or any print etc. If you work from a virtual machine, it is even less likely that you'll be able to print.
Printing to check your work is a good idea, but I don't think you will be allowed to at home.
Thank you, that makes sense. Really appreciate the insight.
It doesn’t matter whether you are using a VM or a VPN, work laptops have an information wall. That is, content viewed or created within that laptop shouldn’t leave the bank’s network (e.g., USBs, printers, sharing to external email isn’t allowed). I’m a COVID analyst, so I’ve had never printed at work before last week.
Our corporate devices prevent any USB or peripherals ports being used, they are locked down. the only printers allowed to use are network printers which are added for every machine we give out. This means, we can print, but the prints end up at the office in the printing room. Not helpful when you are WFH.
This might be a dumb question but does locking down the peripherals include plugging in an external monitor/keyboard?
No
Only read/write peripherals like a USB drive are not allowed. You can plug in a Bluetooth unifying receiver/dongle for your wireless keyboard+mouse. And yeah monitors etc are all fine.
