What's Included in a Printer Lease?
A printer lease includes the device, delivery and installation, all maintenance and break fix servicing, genuine toner, consumables, parts, remote diagnostics and technical support for the full contract term.
Monthly leases start from $160 a month ex GST on a 3 to 5 year term, and the monthly set plan covers toner, parts, service labour and call outs: you only buy paper.
Searching for a photocopier? The multifunction devices leased here print, copy and scan, so a photocopier lease and a printer lease are the same agreement.
Kyocera, HP, Toshiba and Brother copiers are all covered by the same set monthly payment.

Build your lease: watch the costs roll into one bill
Tap any item to see what it covers, then flip between leasing and buying to see the difference in shape, not just price.
- Paper is bought separately in both cases.
One set monthly payment
From $160 a month ex GST
on a 36 to 60 month term, one predictable line on the books
Across several offices the argument stops being what is included and starts being who counts it. Managed Printer Services, run by the same company as LeasemyPrinter, sets out what sits inside a managed print figure and what sits outside it ↗, for an organisation running five offices or more. Our own leases work differently: you only buy paper.
Printer lease cost bands in Australia (indicative)
The Australian printer lease market sits in four broad monthly bands.
Figures below are indicative market benchmarks compiled from publicly published Australian pricing as at May 2026, not LMP quotes.
Your formal quote depends on the device, term, monthly page volume and finance provider.
| Device class | Typical use case | Monthly band (ex GST, all inclusive) |
|---|---|---|
| A4 mono MFP | 1 to 5 staff, under 1,000 pages per month | from $80 to $150 a month |
| A4 colour MFP | 5 to 15 staff, 1,000 to 3,000 pages per month | from $150 to $220 a month (LMP entry $160 a month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term) |
| A3 colour MFP | 10 to 30 staff, 3,000 to 8,000 pages per month | from $220 to $320 a month |
| A3 colour high volume | 30+ staff, 8,000+ pages per month, finishing options | from $320 to $500+ a month |
Indicative market benchmarks compiled from publicly published Australian printer lease pricing (May 2026).
All inclusive bands assume the lease bundles equipment, scheduled service, parts and toner consumables.
Toner, parts, service labour and call outs are included in the monthly fee, so the only thing you buy is paper.

What every printer lease includes
- Every lease covers the device itself along with delivery and professional installation at your premises, so the printer is ready to use from day one.
- Maintenance, toner and remote diagnostics are included for the contract term, meaning break fix call outs, genuine consumables, replacement parts and remote fault monitoring are all part of the agreement.
- Technical support is also included, so your team has a direct line to service technicians throughout the lease without any additional call out charges.
What you buy separately from the lease
Paper is the only running cost outside the monthly set plan.
Toner, parts, service labour, call outs and remote diagnostics are all included for the term, so there is no per page rate and no page allowance to track.
Paper is not included in a standard lease and is purchased independently, as paper preferences and stock types vary widely between businesses.
Optional upgrades or additional hardware such as finishing units or high-capacity trays can be added to a lease and are itemised in your quote rather than bundled into the base monthly rate.
Flexibility during the lease and your options at the end
Many leases include a mid term re-flex provision that lets you choose to upgrade to a newer model if your print volumes outgrow the device.
At the end of your lease term you have three clear choices: upgrade to a current model and start a new lease, continue on the existing lease at a reduced rate, or return the device.
All end of lease options are outlined in your agreement upfront, so there are no surprises when the contract concludes.

Quick formFrequently asked questions
Is toner included in a printer lease?
Yes, genuine toner and consumables are included for the full term of a standard printer lease.
You do not need to order or pay for toner separately, as replenishment is managed as part of your service agreement.
This means you always have the correct consumable for your device without the administration overhead of sourcing supplies independently.
Does a printer lease include servicing and repairs?
Yes, all maintenance and break fix servicing is included in a standard lease, covering both parts and labour for the contract duration.
If a fault occurs, a qualified technician attends to the repair at no additional charge.
Remote diagnostics are also included, which means many issues can be identified and resolved before they affect productivity.
Are there any extra costs on top of the monthly lease?
Paper is the only running cost outside the monthly set plan.
Toner, parts, service labour and call outs are included for the term, so there is no separate per page rate.
Any optional hardware accessories or finishing units are itemised in your quote, so you have a complete picture of costs before signing.
What is not included in a printer lease?
Paper is not included and is the only consumable you source independently.
There are no per page rates and no page allowance on these leases: toner, parts, service labour and call outs are all included in the monthly set plan.
Optional hardware accessories beyond the base device configuration are quoted separately, though they can be added to the lease agreement at the outset.
