Although the RAF would by 1 printer between 3 units, and it would be the old kind that uses a cable no one makes any more...
Yep, a dot matrix running through a serial port that would be both heavy and ever so slow

As for holding the drawings, best guess, they would be held by and licenced from BAe etc who would transmit them direct over the web at a cost of zillions per print.
