a. How do I get it printed (to print)?
b. How do I get it printing?

c. I managed to get the clock worked/repaired(to go).
d. I managed to get the clock going.

e. It gets my blood to boil. Here active construction works
f. It gets my blood boiling.

'have/get something done' has a passive in meaning. It may describe situations where we want someone else to do something for us.
I'm going to have/get my hair cut.
She's having/getting her house redecorated.
So when you use ‘to get something done’ make it a passive construction only.

She stood there, glaring at the printer, randomly pushing buttons. "How do I get it to print?"

"So when you use ‘to get something done’ make it a passive construction only."

What about this construction: get + direct object + infinitive where one can 'get something done' by persuading someone to do something:

I got the watchmaker to repair my watch.
She got a man to wash her car.

There is a difference. The expression is changed to "to get someone to do somthing". You can use active construction.
