Virtually every personal computer sold today contains Universal Serial Bus, or USB, ports by which a wide array of devices can be attached. As with most technologies, the nature of USB support involves a measure of security exposure, since most anything that can be used can also be abused — theoretically if not practically.
Many Lexmark laser printers and multifunction printers (MFP) include support for USB devices, and it is appropriate to consider the potential security ramifications of that support. This white paper describes the security considerations related to USB ports on Lexmark devices, and explains the protections that have been put in place to address those security concerns.
Executive Overview
USB ports on personal computers provide a means to connect devices of various types and perform a variety of interactions. However, for security reasons the USB ports on Lexmark devices are far more limited in their capabilities.
The USB host ports on Lexmark’s devices provide the following: • When a USB mass storage device (such as a thumb drive) is inserted, the printer finds and displays by name the image files and/or flash files that are stored on the device. • The user can select jobs to print from the displayed jobs. If a flash file is selected, the printer firmware will be updated as long as firmware updates are allowed in the security settings. • Additionally, a user can scan data directly to the USB thumbdrive if it is available in a supported scan format.
Introduction This document introduces the LexmarkTM Universal Print Driver (UPD), describes its capabilities, and provides an overview of the devices it supports. This edition applies to the Lexmark Universal Print Drivers version 2 for Windows.

What are the Universal Print Drivers? The Lexmark Universal Print Drivers provide users and administrators with a standardized, one‑driver solution for their printing needs. Instead of installing and managing individual drivers for each printer model, administrators can install the Lexmark Universal Print Drivers for use with a variety of both mono and color laser printers.
Benefits Allows versatility The Lexmark Universal Print Drivers are available in 22 languages, supporting more than 60 printer models, whether attached locally or over a network. All packages have been tested in cluster server environments, Microsoft Terminal Servers, and Citrix Presentation Server environments, and are Microsoft WHQL certified (digitally signed), PCL 5, PCL XL, and PostScript 3 emulations are available for Windows XP or later.
