I have an Epson 3800 printer. If there are no 16 bit printers, why
does one of my print screens have a box to check with "16 Bit" text
next to it. What does it mean, or what does it imply? I've begun to
check the box since I've started using PS4, after using Elements for a
long time, but I don't know if I really see any difference.

you'll need to convert to 8 bit or you'll have some nasty surprises
when you print. The wonderful tonal range you get with 16 bit only
goes as far as a zoomed-in monitor image. Nothing except your
computer has any ability to work with higher than 8 bits. But that
16 bit stuff is nice to see on the screen for sure
