Seems they're still using an 2000 model, but begin of next year they'll get a brand new model. Interesting the things NASA and HP Inc. had to do to make a standard model 'space worthy'.
"The International Space Station has an IT guy, and he just ordered an upgrade
Ever since the International Space Station (ISS) welcomed its first residents in November of 2000, there have been printers on board.
Astronauts use them to print out critical mission information, emergency evacuation procedures and, sometimes, photos from home. According to NASA, they print roughly 1,000 pages a month on two printers; one is installed on the U.S. side of the ISS, the other in the Russian segment."
