Morphology
The meaning 'a company that provides printing services' is directly and compositionally derived from 'printing' (the activity of producing printed goods) + 'company' (an organization offering services). This noun + company pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Printing company comes from shops with big machines that put ink on paper to make many copies. The picture of printing as machines making pages helps you see why company here means a business that makes books, magazines and marketing materials today.
