Managed Print Services in Missouri & Illinois
Most offices do not think about their printers until one runs out of toner mid-job or a copier bill shows up higher than expected. Computerease Managed Print Services take over the printing environment for businesses across Missouri & Illinois, so printing becomes one predictable line item instead of a recurring distraction.
Computerease Managed Print Services (MPS) monitor, maintain, and optimize your office printer fleet for businesses in Missouri & Illinois, using a simple cost-per-page model that includes toner, maintenance, and support in one bill. We monitor your fleet 24/7, automatically replenish supplies before you run out, and right-size your equipment as your business changes. Founded in 1984 and led today by Ryan Haislar, CISSP, we bring the same flat-rate, single-point-of-contact approach to printing that we bring to the rest of your IT.
The Hidden Cost of Unmanaged Printing
Printing is one of those costs that is easy to underestimate because it is spread across toner cartridges, service calls, and IT tickets instead of one line on a budget. Industry research consistently finds that a large share of business print environments are not actively managed, that printing eats up a meaningful percentage of company revenue, and that a significant share of everyday IT help desk calls are print-related. Unmanaged printers are also a real, if often overlooked, security gap, since they store scanned documents and network credentials like any other device on your network.
What’s Included
- Cost-Per-Page Pricing: one simple rate instead of a capital purchase or lease, so upgrading equipment does not require a big upfront cost.
- 24/7 Fleet Monitoring: we track meter readings, supply levels, and maintenance needs in real time, so a problem gets caught before it becomes downtime.
- Automatic Toner Replenishment: supplies are ordered and delivered before you run out, not after someone notices the printer is empty.
- Fleet Right-Sizing: your equipment gets adjusted as your business changes, instead of being locked into a fleet sized for a different year.
- One Consolidated Bill: all print-related costs on a single invoice, excluding paper and staples, instead of separate bills from separate vendors.
- Print Security: monitored, managed devices reduce the risk of a printer becoming the quiet entry point for a data breach.
Print Still Matters in an AI-Driven Office
Even as more work moves to Microsoft 365 and cloud tools, most offices still scan a steady stream of invoices, contracts, and forms into those same systems, and Copilot and other AI tools are only as useful as the documents that make it there cleanly. A printer or scanner that is poorly maintained, insecure, or inconsistently configured becomes a weak link in that pipeline before the document ever reaches an AI tool.
Managing your print and scan fleet properly, with secure release, consistent settings, and reliable scan-to-cloud paths into Microsoft 365, keeps that document pipeline clean, so the paperwork that still crosses your desk each day makes it into your digital systems in a form AI tools can actually use.

Technology Services That Work Alongside Managed Print
Managed Print is one piece of keeping a business running. Computerease supports the rest of your technology under the same flat-rate, family-owned model.
Our Process
- Identify: we inventory every device in your print environment and uncover hidden costs, inefficiencies, and risks.
- Monitor: your fleet is monitored securely and continuously, tracking meter readings, supply levels, and maintenance needs.
- Analyze: we review the data for trends and inefficiencies, and bring you specific, data-backed recommendations.
- Optimize: your print environment keeps getting refined over time, not just set up once and left alone.
A Print Fleet Sized for the Business You’re Becoming
The right number and type of printers for a 20-person office is not the right fleet for that same office at 50 people, or after opening a second location. Print needs shift with headcount, with new departments, and with how much work has genuinely moved to digital versus still needing a hard copy.
We review your fleet and usage data on a regular basis, not just at the start of the relationship, so your equipment and costs stay matched to how your business is actually printing today, not how it printed when the program began.

What Managed Print Really Means for Your Business
Managed print is not really about the printers. It is about someone on your team no longer being the unofficial toner-tracker, and about a bill that shows up predictable every month instead of spiking after a busy quarter.
Our goal is not just to keep your printers running. It is to take printing off your team’s list of things to worry about entirely, so it becomes background infrastructure instead of a recurring interruption.

Questions Businesses Ask Us
Your bill covers toner, maintenance, and support on a simple cost-per-page basis. Paper and staples are not included.

Monitoring software tracks page counts and supply levels automatically, so replacement supplies are ordered before you run out, not after.
Yes, more than most businesses realize. Printers store scanned documents and network credentials like any other device, and an unmonitored printer is an easy device to overlook when securing a network.
