King’s Printer 〈英〉特权印刷者；国王特许印刷者 自1530年起，国王通过特许状〔letter patent〕授权各种人成为其特许印刷者，享有印刷制定法的独占权〔sole right〕，后来这种独占权渐受限制。虽然有时牛津和剑桥被授予共同的印刷特权，但牛津从未加以行使，而剑桥却曾出版有「皮克林法规汇编」〔Pickering’s edition of the statutes〕。国王特许的印刷者拥有垄断权〔monopoly〕,他对公法和私法加以区分，并以分节〔section〕、加注〔marginal note〕和加标点〔punctuation〕的方式进行编排。当前，皇家文书管理局主管官〔Controller of H.M. Stationery Office〕是国王或女王的议会立法〔acts of parliament〕印刷者并对所有政府出版物享有版权，而圣经和《公祷书》〔Prayer Book〕的皇家垄断权则由埃伊尔和斯波提斯伍德出版公司〔Eyre & Spottiswoode〕与牛津和剑桥大学出版社共享。 (→Queen’s Printer)
