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 is also used for companies that make objects with 3D printers, because those machines 'print' material down layer by layer to build a shape. That image of printing explains why company can mean a business that makes three-dimensional objects from digital designs today.
