(A) Imprints printers requested for "a writ of execution".

Explanation:

A writ of execution is a court order that a creditor requests for, from a court, against a debtor so as to force the debtor to obey the terms of a prior judgement to repay his/her debts.

This can only be granted when there has been a prior judgement against the debtor, and yet the debtor has refused to pay.

When a court issues a writ of execution, it tasks the local Sheriff to seize property of the debtor which can then be sold in a Sheriff's sale to pay the creditor.
