Print queue issues, unpredictable costs, security risks, and limited device oversight can all introduce inefficiencies and vulnerabilities into your IT environment.

At Landscape Managed IT, we deliver HP Managed Print Services (MPS) to organisations and enterprises across the UK. Our service is designed to integrate into your wider IT strategy, enabling full visibility, control, and security across your print environment without burdening your internal teams.

We offer Managed Print as a fully managed, end-to-end solution encompassing hardware, automated consumable delivery, maintenance, print security, and advanced analytics. It allows IT leaders to transform fragmented, manual print processes into streamlined, data-driven systems, reducing operational overhead, improving user experience, and increasing cost predictability.

At its core, Managed Print is about three things:

  1. Operational efficiency through supplies automation and proactive Helpdesk support and preventative maintenance.
  2. Security via enterprise-grade device protection and access controls
  3. Actionable insights to drive smarter usage policies and reduce print waste

Why HP?

Among the various OEMs in the market, HP consistently stands out due to its technological leadership, particularly in areas that matter most to IT decision-makers. HP devices are built with security in mind, offering embedded protections such as BIOS-level self-healing, runtime intrusion detection, secure boot, whitelisting, and comprehensive user authentication capabilities. This robust security architecture helps protect against modern cyber threats that often exploit overlooked endpoints like network printers.

The breadth and scalability of HP’s product range also make it ideal for mixed or growing fleets. From small office multifunction devices to enterprise-grade high-volume machines, HP offers solutions that can be easily deployed and centrally managed across multiple locations. This fleet flexibility is critical in hybrid and remote-first environments.

Sustainability is another area where HP leads. The company designs its devices with energy efficiency, long-life components, and recycled materials as standard. HP’s closed-loop recycling initiative—Planet Partners—ensures used consumables are disposed of responsibly, supporting your ESG goals without compromising performance. Device management is streamlined through HP’s suite of software tools, which give IT teams real-time insights into device status, usage patterns, and supply levels. Centralised monitoring and policy enforcement capabilities are especially valuable for organisations operating across multiple offices or with remote users. Reliability is a cornerstone of HP’s offering. The hardware is engineered to perform consistently under pressure, with high-yield consumables and minimal maintenance requirements. Over time, this leads to lower service overheads and a reduced total cost of ownership compared to many other print vendors.

Key Benefits for IT Teams

Predictable Cost Structures
Gain visibility into every device, user, and print job. With real-time reporting and automated supplies management, you benefit from budget clarity and elimination of surprise costs.

Stronger Security Posture
Secure print release, user authentication, encrypted job transmission, and audit trails are standard—critical as endpoint print devices remain a vector in many cyber risk models.

Higher Availability
Automated consumables delivery and proactive break/fix support ensure minimal disruption to business-critical workflows and reduced pressure on internal IT support desks.

Sustainability Insights
Track consumption patterns, enforce double-sided printing, reduce paper waste, and generate reports to support ESG reporting and green IT initiatives.

Why Landscape Over Large-Scale Providers?

While you may already know large suppliers like Apogee Corp, Softcat, XMA, or Agilico, these providers often prioritise scale over service. At Landscape Managed IT, we take a different approach. We offer the agility, personalisation, and deep understanding of your business that many large vendors struggle to deliver. We work as an extension of your internal IT team, taking time to understand your infrastructure and objectives before designing a tailored MPS solution that fits your operational reality. Our focus isn’t on pushing pre-packaged services—it’s on building long-term partnerships grounded in trust, responsiveness, and performance.

Is HP MPS the Right Fit?

If your organisation still relies on printing, whether across dozens of users or thousands, MPS introduces control, scalability, and predictability without capital outlay. For IT leaders looking to reduce complexity, close security gaps, and improve cost efficiency, MPS is a strategic advantage.
