@ExTra It's a relatively newish MacBook Pro with 500gb Hd space. I've 300GB empty as we just use Dropbox for all our files, and I have it set to online only.
I was just going to do 50gb for the partition as if I need to use a PC I do it through a VDI environment. It's just that VMWare doesn't seem to want to access devices connected to my Mac, otherwise, I'd be doing that. And I've just found out that I can't add a printer to the VDI, as I don't have Admin privileges.
And @SuperSalad I did contemplate getting a Win10 Laptop, but it's a Bank Holiday weekend, and I need this to start printing asap. I've no idea where I can get one tomorrow morning, and get it working.
Overall, this has been a nightmare. I thought it would be easy to print, and it couldn't be more difficult or fiddly.
Muppetteer-
When you say you don’t have admins privilege, I presume this is a work laptop? If so, you won’t be able to get bootcamp working without admin login anyway. As you are making even more fundamental changes to the machine than installing software, which is what you have been trying to do.
And if you are going to partition to a window, 50gb doesn’t even scratch the surface, after you have installed the win 10 and some basic software, you’d have barely anything left and that’d have a negative impact on the speed.
You’d be much better off popping to currys or any high street computer shop. To be honest, most shop bought computers are ready to use out of the box anyway.
In all honesty, your quickest hassle free way is to buy a cheap window laptop.

What’s the specs of your Mac? It’s not worth doing if your Mac is low specs and with small hard drive space.
Otherwise, it’s easy, you just need to buy a window license.
We usually do 50/50 petitions, but you can do less on the window side if you printing ID card is the only thing you need.
Alternatively, I’d probably consider buying the cheapest possible PC computer for printing your cards. A friend got her laptop for £150 and she was sort of happy with it.
