Hello,
Will blame it on old age now, so please put up with
a dumb question.

Hard for me to use pc screen these days, and would really like
to get a printed copy of Publ. 17. (Tax Guide For Individuals for 2021 taxes)

I went to the IRS ordering page, and all the Forms are there, but
no Publ 17.

Is there a link, somewhere, to order a printed copy from the IRS ?

Or,...?

Much thanks,
Bob

It doesn't look like they offer a printed version any more.

This isn't the same thing, but there is a large print PDF version.
The current one is still for 2020 but I expect the 2021 will be
there soon enough:

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/irs-tax-publications-in-large-print

If you have a printer, I suppose you can print it out.

This page has a search box to order forms.

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/forms-and-publications-by-us-mail

Use "publ" to order a publication.

Payroll tax forms are here

https://www.irs.gov/businesses/online-ordering-for-information-returns-and-employer-returns

I cannot find a way to order Publ 17 by mail. Call the order number and
see if you can still obtain it by mail. Otherwise you'll have to
download the PDF and print out the specific pages you need.

800 TAX-FORM
800 829-3676

This was just published on line for 2021 taxes. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p17.pdf

These days, IRS no longer orders mass quantities of printed forms and publications from GPO. In fact, there are some forms and publications
that are printed on high-speed laser printer as they are ordered, so you
no longer receive them in newsprint.

You can download this file and print it yourself:

Good luck.

Did you see where it is 140 pages long ?  😱

Yes and that is why I said the OP can download the pdf file and print it
out himself. Governments are trying to reduce paper footprints around
the world and we now have online filing of documents etc and all the
help sheets are online to avoid carbon footprint of paper. the OP can
print 140 pages on 35 pages with some ingenuity; i.e. two pages per page
using both sides; Of course you need a laser printer to do it.

Well yes, I suppose he could also just print the the specific pages
covering issues he is having to study up on.

Exactly. With tax matters for individuals not all pages are relevant; Professionals who are advising clients need to know "everything" about
taxes but individuals can simply browse the relevant pages and decide if
they are worth printing or not. For general knowledge, it's a good idea
to read everything but time is of essence for most people. Tax is not
something you read at bedtime like a story!

If the OP has difficulty using a PC screen these days, I doubt printing
four pages per sheet is going to help him much.

The ADA requires entities to make reasonable accommodations. Printing
and mailing a few documents for those that require them seems like such
a reasonable accommodation. The masses will still avoid the paper.

OP: call the IRS and tell them you need them to mail you a paper copy,
and that you are unable to print it yourself. Let us know the result
for future reference.

I thinks that's only for AARP Foundation Tax-Aide
volunteers, and maybe only one copy for each Tax-Aide site,
not for individual volunteers.
