That's the paper mill, not the print works. The mill was located
roughly where the end of Byewaters is, just east of the lock on the
canal (it was a regular walk in my youth).
Is this by any chance why there's a Caxton Way in the nearby industrial
estate? I assume it's why there's a Mill Lane running from Croxley Met
to the lock you mention.

It could well be; I'm not enough of a historian of Croxley to be able to
answer.

This wasn't a passenger branch, it was a normal goods siding off the
Ricky line.
Ah, fair enough. I suppose even the 1 km from Croxley Green station (or
a notional goods siding on the Rickmansworth branch) to the mill would
have been too much for big deliveries of rags etc.

Never mind the rags; my memory of the rolls of paper is that they were
bigger than I was.
