It just means "many people agree with". It's one of those phrases that tends to clutter a sentence without actually adding any extra information. " Words like "opinion", "scheme" and "some" are implied by the rest of your sentence.

It's one of those phrases that tends to clutter a sentence without actually adding any extra information. Your example would be better as: "Many people approve of purchasing a new Multi-Function Printer; on the other hand, some do not." Words like "opinion", "scheme" and "some" are implied by the rest of your sentence.
