Supplies & Maintenance

When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, antivirus software, or maybe suspicious-looking emails. What usually doesn’t come to mind? The office printer. Yes, that inoffensive device in the corner of your office is actually a computer in disguise, and like any computer, it can be hacked.

That’s a real problem. In fact, a 2024 Quocirca study found that 67% of organizations experienced data loss due to print security failures in just the past year. Many of these stem from common printer security mistakes. That means if your business hasn’t thought about printer security, you’re already at risk.

The cost of paper has increased 25% since 2020.

Like most things, paper costs add up for consumers and businesses alike, and no one wants to waste money on overpriced paper products.

As more and more people move towards a digital world, they are debating the cost and usefulness of paper. Despite environmental incentives and digital document-sharing platforms, most offices and businesses still need paper for daily tasks.

However, the decrease in paper use has its benefits, even for those who still use paper products. Besides being beneficial for the environment, the reduction in paper waste means businesses can cut costs by printing documents on less expensive paper.

What are printer drivers, and why are they important to your printer’s daily operation? 

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t know what a printer driver is and what role they play in the functioning of a printer/copier. 

Printer drivers play an essential role in the performance of your office machine and could end up being the root of the problem if your printer is malfunctioning. 

Understanding printer drivers is essential for ensuring your printer operates smoothly. Printer drivers are like translators, converting data into a format that the printer can understand and process. Without the right driver, your printer won't function properly.

You've spent hours perfecting a presentation or a project, only to find that your printer delivers lackluster results—faded colors, streaks, or smudges that mar your hard work.
