Printer Fleet Management

Ever feel like your printers are running the office instead of your people? Toner’s out (again), invoices are piling up from five different vendors, and your IT staff is spending more time fixing paper jams than doing actual tech work.

If this sounds familiar, it might be time to look into Managed Print Services (MPS).

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve spent nearly four decades helping businesses  of all sizes like schools, hospitals, and law firms, take back control of their print environments.

In this guide, we’ll break down what MPS really means, how it works, and why it’s one of the smartest moves a business can make when it comes to reducing waste, improving productivity, and making printing… well, something you don’t have to think about anymore.

Keeping up with your printers probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list. Maybe your toner always runs out at the worst time, or maybe you're tired of the IT team getting dragged into every minor printer hiccup.

You’re not alone. For most businesses, managing print equipment is more complicated than it needs to be. That’s where Managed Print Services (MPS) comes in.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve helped hundreds of schools, healthcare networks, law offices, and local businesses streamline their printing setup through MPS and save money doing it. Whether you’re in charge of IT or the one constantly Googling "printer won’t print," this blog is for you.

We'll break down what MPS is, why it matters, and how it can actually make your day easier. (Yes, even if you work from home.)

When it’s time to buy a new printer, one of the first questions many businesses and organizations ask is: Should we buy directly from the manufacturer, or work with a local print vendor?

It’s a great question, and not always an easy one. The right answer depends on your business’s needs, how much service you want, and what kind of long-term relationship you're looking for. As longtime partners of Xerox and experienced print vendors ourselves, we understand both sides of the equation.

In this guide, we’ll break down the pros and cons of each option, clarify what each buying route really looks like, and help you start making the best decision for your business. If you're feeling unsure, that’s okay, we’re here to help.

67% of businesses and organizations reported at least one data loss incident in the past year, according to a recent Quocirca report.  That’s a problem, especially when your printers are network-connected, process sensitive documents, and store data.

It’s not just laptops or servers that need protection anymore. Printers, especially in larger fleets, are endpoints too, and they’re often the ones getting overlooked.

One of the most important tools available today is the Xerox® Printer Security Audit Service. It’s a solution built to bring visibility, consistency, and protection to your print environment without overwhelming your IT team.
