The answer

It is obligatory for a person to dispose of usurious interest by spending it on the general welfare of Muslims. Therefore, there is no harm in repairing the printer with it, even if other employees use it with the administration's permission, because the benefit here is incidental, not intentional. It must be noted that it is not permissible to maintain an usurious account except in cases of extreme necessity.
