I'm looking for a timing device that will turn my printer off at a
specific time say 10 PM but wont turn it back on again. I will do that
manually . I just don't want my printer running at night but know I
will forget to turn it off.

My Canon has an option on it's Properties window that does just that. It
goes into standby and turns on again automatically next time you want to
print.

You may be lucky and find that the printer power switch is a momentary
type and does not stay "ON" after a power down power up sequence.

Can't help immediatley I'm afraid but there used to be digital time
switches that were configured such that this would happen. I've one
on our bed heater blanket - if you switch it on manually, it will
switch back to auto at the next OFF point (and presumably if there
wasn't an ON setting, that would have suited the OP's requirements).
Unfortunately current digital time switches once switched to MANUAL,
remain there.

I have an FCU conveniently situated on the wall adjacent to the computer
which switches off everything. Can't see the point in leaving the computer
on when not needed anymore than a printer.

Some printers object to being powered down from the wall, rather then their
own (soft) button.
Epson InkJet printers are notorius for this, it causes them to lose the ink
levels in the cartridges, and report them as empty sometimes.
I have connected a relay controlled socket to my periferals (Excluding the
printer) and connected the 12v rail from the PC to the coil, so when the PC
is turned on or off, everything else is also turned on/off.

May be a bit of an overkill - but you could use an NVR switch such as
http://tinyurl.com/639kfj in conjunction with a simple plug-in timer.

These do, and are great VFM at £7 for a pack of 2:

Basically you can cycle between manual on/auto/manual off/auto and so
on.
As you change from manual to auto it stays on or off, then switches at
the next time setting that does the opposite IYSWIM.
cheers,
Pete.
