Hello, I got a printer Brother MFC-L2712DW without USB but also want to offer print and copy for my customers.
How to do it and also be safe from anything on the USB flash drive?
I'm not able to boot something else, the PC must be ON the whole time.

PC is running Windows 10 Pro.

Thank you.

Random people.

Yes, that's why I'm asking if there is any way how to be safe 😀.
I know that some antivirus SW has protected sandbox, windows have a sandbox but I don't know if it could help with this, if it can be used for such things or if there is any better way.

Let's skip threats like firmware, BIOS,... things. I just need protection against ransomware, spyware, malware and things like that.

EDIT: I wrote it before the last answer. Thank you, I will try to find how to use it within VM.

I know but printing from USB is still the most common so I would like to make it possible.
On this PC are not any important things but I still need it operable and reinstalling would be just a pain in...

Now I think about VM but it can access it only after it's already plugged in or not? So it would be in windows before VM.
(As I said, I can't boot different OS.)

Thinking also about a new user account, restricted only to the browser and one other application + print from that USB, it would be safer or not?
