You know some companies pay for this kind of treatment. Bad publicity is still publicity. Companies pay other companies to bash them example is any commercial you see that is trying to sale one product while bashing another.

Your company should speak to an attorney who specializes in business. As far as the printer ownership is 9/10's of the law, unless there was some type of contract written up with the other company, then you might have a breach of contract.

The other company has stolen the machine and the individuals responsible can be prosecuted criminally.

As for any civil actions, the ones that come to mind are slander/defamation (depending upon the form of the communication), tortious interference with contract and negligence.

Speak to a lawyer... its usually free. Dont trust random people on Y.A. (half of them are idiots)

Failure to return the machine is abuse of bailment. The other is either libel or slander, depending on if it's oral or written. For libel you will need witnesses.
