Printer & peripheral support for Adelaide businesses

Printers cause more helpdesk calls than almost anything else — and they always pick the worst time to stop working. We set up, troubleshoot and look after printers, scanners, multifunction devices and business peripherals so your team can just hit print and get on with work. Local Adelaide support, no run-around.

What is printer & peripheral support?

It covers everything involved in keeping your printers, scanners, multifunction devices (MFDs) and other peripherals working reliably — from initial setup and network configuration to troubleshooting paper jams, print quality issues and connectivity problems. For businesses with multiple devices, it also means managing toner, drivers and firmware so things stay consistent across the office. The goal is simple: you hit print, it prints.

What we cover

Printer setup & configuration

New printers installed, networked and configured with the right drivers on every workstation.

Network printing

Print servers, shared queues and wireless printing set up so the whole office can print without drama.

Troubleshooting & repairs

Paper jams, print quality problems, connectivity issues and error messages diagnosed and sorted.

Scanners & MFDs

Scan-to-email, scan-to-folder and multifunction device setup configured to work with your network and email.

Toner & consumables

We can manage toner supply so you don't run out mid-job or end up with a cupboard full of the wrong cartridges.

Peripheral support

Monitors, docking stations, webcams, headsets and other USB peripherals set up and working properly.

Who it's for

  • Offices where the printer is everyone's problem and no one's job.
  • Businesses setting up new premises and needing printers, scanners and peripherals networked from scratch.
  • Teams with multifunction devices that scan, copy and fax but nobody can get scan-to-email to work.
  • Anyone spending too much time and money on toner, paper jams and printer errors.

How it works

  1. Tell us what's happening. Call or email — whether it's a new setup, a printer that won't behave, or a peripheral that's stopped working.
  2. We assess the situation. Many printer issues can be resolved remotely; if not, we'll arrange a site visit.
  3. Fix or set up. Drivers installed, network configured, scan-to-email working, print queues sorted — whatever's needed.
  4. Test everything. We print, scan, copy and test from multiple workstations before we call it done.
  5. Ongoing support. If it plays up again next week, call us — managed clients get this looked after as part of the plan.

Why WaTo for printer & peripheral support

  • We actually fix the problem — not just reinstall the driver and hope for the best.
  • Network printing set up once, properly — so you're not troubleshooting it every Monday.
  • A real person answers — printers are frustrating enough without being stuck on hold.
  • One team for printers, PCs, network and everything connected to it — the whole picture, not just one piece.
  • Adelaide owned since 2001, looking after business IT across South Australia.

Printer & peripheral support questions

Can you fix our existing printer or should we replace it?

We'll take a look and tell you straight. If it's a simple fix or a parts swap, we'll sort it. If it's a consumer printer being hammered in a business, we might suggest something more suitable — but that's your call.

Why does our printer keep going offline?

Usually it's a network or driver issue, not the printer itself. We see it constantly — a quick config change or a static IP assignment often fixes it for good.

Can you set up scan-to-email on our MFD?

Yes. It's one of the most common requests we get. We configure it to work with your email system — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or whatever you're running — and test it before we leave.

Do you support Mac and Windows printing?

We do. Mixed environments need a bit more care with drivers and sharing, but we set it up so both platforms print reliably to the same devices.

Sick of printer problems?

Tell us what's driving you mad and we'll sort it out — or set things up so it stops happening. One call, one team.

No two businesses are the same — so nothing we do is off-the-shelf. Every solution is built around yours, and kept simple.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do your plans and pricing work?

Whatever suits you — a fixed contract, a monthly retainer, prepaid blocks of hours, or simple hourly rates. You pick the model that fits your business, and we keep it transparent with no surprise bills.

How quickly do you respond?

Fast. You talk to a real person, not a call queue — and for urgent issues we're often on-site within the hour across Adelaide, with remote support Australia-wide.

Do you only do IT support?

No — IT & Digital, cyber security, websites & hosting (via Whosts.au), business solutions and currency equipment, all from one local team. One number to call.

What does it cost?

It depends on your size and the cover you need. We keep pricing simple and transparent, with no surprise bills — call us for a tailored quote.

Do you support businesses outside Adelaide?

Yes. We're Adelaide-based and provide remote support Australia-wide, with on-site visits across South Australia.

Will you work with our existing IT person?

Absolutely. We often co-manage — taking on monitoring, security and after-hours cover alongside your in-house team.

Our story

Built in Adelaide, since 2001

WaTo Consulting was founded by John Watson in Adelaide in 2001. Over two decades it's earned a name for tailored work across a wide range of industries — helping businesses of every size run more smoothly, work more efficiently and grow steadily, without blowing the budget or disrupting the day-to-day.

Emma Watson (née Dickenson) played a significant part in shaping what WaTo became. She brought real expertise and a clear vision for where it could go — expanding the business, bringing in new systems and fresh thinking, and raising the standard of how things are done. A great deal of what WaTo is, we owe to her.

Today it's all tailored, never off-the-shelf — IT & Digital, Business & Web Hosting, built around what each client actually needs. Over the years those areas have come together under one roof: our IT & Digital, Currency, Business and Web work (through Whosts.au) now all sit within WaTo Consulting — one team, one standard, looking after the lot.

When you work with us, you're not a client — you're a partner.
