Printer Security
Printer Security Solutions from MPS UK
In a world of evolving cybersecurity threats, printer security is no longer optional. From legal practices and financial institutions to public sector organisations and healthcare providers, safeguarding printed data is a crucial pillar of any information security strategy. MPS UK delivers expert-led solutions that make printer security simple, effective and fully integrated within your wider IT environment.
Why Businesses Can No Longer Afford to Ignore Print Security
Many organisations underestimate the vulnerabilities hidden in everyday printing tasks. Yet any device connected to your network, including a multifunction printer, can become an entry point for cyber threats if left unsecured. Sensitive information such as payroll records, client contracts, medical reports or internal strategy documents can be intercepted, accessed or even altered without robust protection in place. Whether you operate a Canon, Ricoh or Lexmark device, printer security is critical.
Confidential printing is particularly vital in sectors handling personal or financial data. MPS UK supports password protected printing and secure printing solutions to ensure that jobs are only released when the authorised user is present. This not only prevents unauthorised access but reduces the risk of documents being left unattended or misappropriated.
Is Print Security Possible with Cloud or Wireless Devices?
Absolutely. As the adoption of cloud printing and wifi printer security increases, so does the importance of secure cloud-based access control. MPS UK can lock down wireless printing through identity-based permissions, secure print queues and encrypted job transmission. Cloud printing does not need to compromise data integrity when paired with expert implementation.
Do You Need to Replace Existing Hardware?
Like any connected device, printers require routine firmware updates to patch vulnerabilities. MPS UK monitors your fleet and ensures all updates are applied promptly, reducing your exposure to known exploits. Ricoh printer security, for instance, is strengthened significantly with timely updates that close off loopholes and enable new security functions.

What Is Printer Security and How Does It Work?
Printer security refers to the range of hardware, software and policy-based controls designed to protect your print infrastructure. This includes everything from firmware protection and encryption to user authentication and data monitoring. A dynamic security enabled printer, for instance, helps ensure that only trusted, verified cartridges are used, preventing firmware tampering or supply chain interference.
Network printer security also plays a crucial role. MPS UK ensures your devices are correctly segmented and configured to prevent unauthorised access via the network. Lexmark printer security and Xerox printer security features, for example, can be enhanced with tailored configurations, PIN-based release mechanisms, and automatic logouts to minimise threat exposure.
How Often Should Firmware Be Updated?
Integrated Security as Part of a Wider Managed Print Service
Not always. Our team is experienced in enhancing the security posture of legacy systems. While newer models often include native features such as secure boot or encrypted hard drives, many existing devices can be retrofitted with added controls. We can advise whether your setup would benefit from upgrading to a security badge printer, a security card printer, or similar specialist hardware, but this is not always a requirement.
Printer security is never an isolated task. That is why MPS UK delivers integrated solutions as part of our broader Managed Print Services. From device audits and site surveys to long-term maintenance and training, our team ensures your secure printing infrastructure performs reliably across your entire estate.
​
We begin with a full print survey and optional energy audit to understand your current estate and risks. From there, we create a bespoke plan, securing your Canon, Lexmark or Xerox printers in line with industry best practice.
