Enquired on Monday and had a printer installed by Friday. Fast, easy, and exactly what we needed.

Frequently asked questions
- Is HP or Kyocera better for printer leasing in Australia?
- Neither is universally "better". Both are mainstream colour multifunction options for Australian business leasing, with overlapping speed bands, security features, finishing options and lease pricing. The right one depends on your volume profile, whether your team already runs one fleet, and which fleet-management tools suit your sites. We lease both and can put a like-for-like quote in front of you for either brand.
- Does LeasemyPrinter lease both HP and Kyocera?
- Yes. LeasemyPrinter leases HP, Kyocera, Toshiba and Brother, from $189/month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term with maintenance, genuine consumables and remote diagnostics included for the contract term.
- Can I run a mixed HP and Kyocera fleet on one lease?
- Yes. A single master lease can cover both brands across multiple devices and sites, with consolidated billing and volume reporting. A mixed fleet means two toner families to stock, which we factor into the service plan.
