A security printing control method and apparatus using the location of a user, and a printing system thereof are provided. The printing system allows a print operation to be performed only when the user is in a print allowance area around a printing apparatus. The security printing control method includes detecting information regarding a location of a user, determining whether or not the user is in a print allowance area on the basis of the detected location information, and allowing a corresponding document to be printed if the user is in the print allowance area. In the security printing control method and apparatus and the security printing system thereof, when documents requiring security classifications are printed, by allowing a print operation to be performed only when a user is in a print allowance area around a printing apparatus, it is possible to prevent the documents requiring the security classifications from being disclosed to other people when the user is out of the print allowance area, thereby enhancing the security of document printing.
