Explanation:
From what your asking...

Of course, there are also multifunction pritners, fax, copiers - but it doesn't sound like that's what you want.

My first that was "paper emitting", but ouch - no they actually do all print paper....

I'd stick with paper printing systems. The company is trying to save costs, and costs for printing cartridges and maintenance of these kinds of machines can be extensive. So they not only want to save on paper costs, which paper output systems would imply, but on the overall costs of using these kinds of machines.

Explanation:
Zumindest ist das der engl. Oberbegriff für Drucker, Faxgeräte & Kopierer. Wenn (was wegen mangelndem Kontext nicht ersichtlich) das Papier der entscheidende Faktor ist, muss ich passen.

paper-generating machines


Explanation:
I think this suits the context. Not a literal translation but an English speaker may well describe them like this. This is even though they don't really generate paper, but take in new paper at one end, print on it, and throw it out at the other end to be read and then filed or scrapped! Example in the Web ref.
