Learn English – a person who works in a copy shop

word-request

So far I've found xeroxer but I'm not sure if it's a common term and also if the term is specifically used to describe people who make copies in offices rather than running a business independently and having a shop of their own. I need to check it with an English native speaker. Is it a common word? If not, what do you usually call them?

New occupational (and avocational) nouns can be formed by analogy as the need arises: photographer, programmer, coder, blogger, gamer, snowboarder.

The natural choice here, photocopier, was already used for the device itself.

I'm a xeroxer at a print-shop would certainly be understood by most native speakers of American English who are adults (little kids and even some teens might not recognize "xerox") but most people would probably say a desk-clerk at a print-shop or something like that.
