Firm support for some office equipment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

copier

'some office equipment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'firm support' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'support' becomes 'pier' (pier is a kind of support).
'co'+'pier'='COPIER'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for copier that I've seen before include "Office item" , "Machine for making facsimiles" , "Machine for reproducing something" , "Something that duplicates" , "Machine for making duplicates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
