Time is the only way to do this. Ink from the printer is like ink from a permanent marker. Please take note of the word PERMANENT. It will fade with time, washing and as your skin regenerates. Bleach may help to lighten the color but you will not be happy with the dry hands afterwards. I don't recommend it, but do a test patch first and see how the spot reacts for a few hours before trying to wash/soak your hands in it if you have to. It depends on if the ink is color fast ink or not if the bleach will work.
Sorry dude, you may just have earned the new nickname of Rainbow Hands.

You didn't wear the really cheap latex or rubber, or plastic, hand gloves??? Gojo, at any auto parts store, removes ink, also! first wash with only the gojo... second wash use water... And, Agent Orange is the hand cleanser at Costco, in the half gallon dispenser! has a bit of pumic to help cleanse... All have lanolin and other conditioners to prevent chapping!!!

Nothing to worry about.
Kerosene works. So does WD40. In fact, I recommend WD40. Available at any hardware store. Spray it on, wait a minute or so and wash with water.
Wash again with soap and water to get rid of the WD40 scent.

CIF Bathroom cleaner. I had ink all over my hands and tried most things listed but nothing helped. Then tried CIF and it was fantastic, hardly any signs left

some chemicals can cause dermatitis so you have to be carefull i have used washing liquid with some sugar tipped in to it and then scrub with a nail brush (once you have dermatitis it can re-occur and it isnt nice)

take some really gritty soap or face wash to your hands.
if that doesn't do it, you just need to wait til it comes off on it's own.
