It's not a printer, it's a much more sophisticated version of a spell slip, really. It also uses a much more complex structure than paper.
You'll see more about it when she starts to teach Morgana how to do it. One of the reasons she bought some of that stuff

It's a six foot staff, so those will be pretty big screws
