Not sure whom you were asking, but I can answer for our formerly-VPS, now-NPF shop. We have 65 active physical printers, covered by 174 definitions.

VPS definitions, but... 1. Many of those are multiple entries for the same physical device with varying format attributes like double-sided, landscape, two-up, etc. For example, one device I picked at random has 13 entries representing various attributes. 2. We have added innumerable printers over the decades. I was never 'the VPS guy', but I suspect that very few if any obsolete entries were deleted. . .
