We Think We Found ‘Human Printer’ Natalie Harp’s Printer Setup. It’s Bulky

Natalie Harp is a former TV personality and current presidential executive assistant. She’s also what I guess you might call a rising star within the Trump White House.

She wasn’t a complete unknown before this month, but she became part of a big national story when publications including the Washington Post reported that she was one of the Trump staffers secretly shuffled off of Air Force One with the president in Turkey last month and spirited across an airport tarmac in a box intended for food. Harp rose to full celebrity status on Sunday thanks to a snide remark about her closeness to the president during a recent campaign speech by Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, and the surprising amount of umbrage taken by the Trump side .

Of particular concern to Gizmodo as a tech publication, however, is Harp’s Epson WorkForce WF-110 Wireless Mobile Printer, a passable, if not ideal, tool for Harp’s apparent use case. We’re pretty sure that’s what she’s using in these frames.

According to a 2024 story in the New York Times , Harp is known by Trump’s staff as the “human printer” because she makes a habit of traveling with a printer along with a battery pack. Trump apparently prefers that any information he needs to read be printed out, and Harp reportedly obliges. Once, on a golf course in Scotland, according to the Times, she apparently “ran behind his cart to keep him up to date with positive stories and social media posts.”

When these factoids started circulating heavily earlier this week, they struck me as odd: why would she need a separate battery pack to charge a portable printer—meaning one with a battery of its own. Just what sort of printer are we talking about here? And she’s running around outdoors while schlepping all this?

Fortunately, after some hunting, I discovered that in a few frames from a 2024 documentary series called The Art of the Surge: The Donald Trump Comeback , you can actually see Harp’s setup: the aforementioned Epson WorkForce WF-110, plugged into a MARBERO Portable Power Supply .

In one shot, it also looks like she has a separate phone battery bank—brand unknown—that she uses to charge her phone wirelessly, while also running a cord to her printer.

Gizmodo hasn’t reviewed the devices in Harp’s setup, and in fairness it seems like they’re getting the job done, but our main takeaway is that by sheer mass, this is way too much gear for what she’s doing with it.

Carrying around that entire MARBERO power supply is redundant bordering on bizarre. According to the Epson website, the WF-110 boasts an on-board battery that can be charged with USB or AC, but if you really need extra juice, Epson offers an extended battery that snaps on . According to Epson’s promo video, the printer with its extended battery form a tidy single unit that you can stick in your bag.

According to Amazon listings, the Epson extended battery weighs 0.55 pounds . A MARBERO power supply weighs about 2 pounds, 5 ounces . Harp likely also carries around paper and backup ink cartridges. And for whatever reason, she apparently also carries around a smaller battery bank exclusively for her phone.
