Samsung ML-2251N Monochrome Laser Printer Review
I have been using this printer for about three months now, and am very pleased with it. Having the printer on the network, rather than shared from a single computer, is very convenient. I am using the printer with a network of two Windows XP computers, and one Linux (Ubuntu) printer. Set up with the Linux system took a bit more time and research, but on the Samsung web site there is a Linux driver available for download. The printer has a nice browser based utility for adjusting settings, including setting up a fixed IP address, but I had to find this on my own; I found no mention of it in the manual.Print quality has been excellent. I use the toner saver mode for most of my printing, and save the higher quality mode for only the most important documents. The driver has the ability to save various printing profiles, so once you have settings for paper size, resolution, graphics modes and the rest that you like, you can save it for later use. This might be common with other printers, but not with the ones (old) that I have been using.
Just for a test, I did attempt to print a black and white photo on glossy paper. Although the detail was acceptable, the printer introduced bands of light and dark into the print. Since I knew this was not a photo printer when I bought it (and that is not what I bought it for) I don't consider this a problem.
If I had any complaint, it would be the noise level when the printer is waiting to print, but hasn't gone into the sleep mode. Since this lasts only ten minutes, it isn't a huge problem. I also have a separate room for the computer. If your computer is in your living room, you might want to consider making good use of the networking capability to move the printer to another room, away from people who might be bothered by the noise when you are printing.
At the time I purchased this unit, it was under $220 from Amazon, and even with free super saver shipping still arrived in three days. This was my first order from Amazon, and am quite pleased with the service.
