It's a hybrid. The GPO is headed by the Public Printer who is appointed by the President subject to confirmation by the Senate. However, it is exempted from most of the rules regarding executive agencies and its operations are subject to the dictates of the Joint Committee on Printing.
If I had to describe the GPO, in terms of how it operates, I'd say it's a wholly owned government corporation with a monopoly on government printing contracts having the Public Printer as its CEO and the Joint Commitee on Printing as its board of directors, tho that isn't how it's defined under the law.

The Office of the Federal Register article states that it publishes, for example, the CFR; this article claims that the GPO publishes it. What's the deal? Melchoir 00:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
I just completed a rather large (and time consuming) edit, which I described in the edit sommary as "copy edited (primarily to remove spammy materiel), cleaned up references, placed standard appendices into recommended order, cleaned up external links, changed some references to be inline." I primarily made housekeeping edits, with the only potentially content changing edits being the removal/re-factoring of some more blatantly advertisement style text. I didn't get around to checking on all of the references, but I did at least make them all inline (vs. external links). Note that a couple which I did check were apparently dead links (and are now marked as such), so if anyone can fix them feel free to do so. Note that I'm not, and not likely to be in the future, a regular editor of this article, so if there is a change that I made here which is of concern just go ahead and fix it. Happy editing!

today is 2010 sept 17 but the page says: "In March 2011, GPO issued a new illustrated official history covering the agency's 150 years of Keeping America Informed. [1]" and the link is broke 117.79.235.183 ( talk) 10:48, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

It looks like the Government Printing Office will now be officially known as the Government Publishing Office. The details are buried in the spending bill. Source. Whoisjohngalt ( talk) 18:11, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

The article makes no mention of the allegations described in this NPR article. I'd love to help but am rather new to his. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CampWood ( talk • contribs) 22:48, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
The website govinfo.gov is a service of the GPO, in fact it is just one of at least four websites of the GPO:
I found this page: https://www.govinfo.gov/about#govinfo that discusses the above websites. Likely there is more, likely there is a lot more.
On the above page: https://www.govinfo.gov/about#govinfo, there's an FAQ that's a great start:
What's the difference between govinfo, GPO.gov, FDLP.gov, and the CGP?
