Product Description

With its attractive design, small footprint and unbeatable price, the powerful, network-ready ML-2251N has been designed to change what a small office can expect from a printer. A high-resolution 1200 x 1200 dpi laser print engine delivers professional-quality text and graphics, while a 30,000-page monthly duty cycle and industry-recognized Samsung reliability combine to create a machine you never have to think about. Fast print speeds up to 22 ppm combine with fast USB 2.0, IEEE-1284 and 10/100Base-TX connectivity to make quick work of even the largest documents. All thanks in part to a fast 166 MHz processor and 16 MB memory expandable to 144 MB. With a high-capacity 250-sheet cassette, 50-sheet multipurpose tray and optional 250-sheet cassette, the ML-2251N lets you print up to 550 pages without ever having to reload. A simple one-piece cartridge makes for quick toner changes. And an easy-to-read LCD and one-step paper jam recovery make for quick and easy troubleshooting that makes the whole office more productive. Samsung exclusive TonerSave mode increases toner yield by up to 40% with the touch of a button.

Damaged printer and no customer service.......2007-01-21

On the 26th of Dec. I opened the shipping package and discovered the back of the printer bashed in and the toner cartridge and the toner cartridge packaging broken allowing toner to go everywhere. I immediately emailed for a RMA and a refund. On Dec 28 I got an email stating I would get a full refund in 10 business days. Its now 15 business day and nothing has happened. The purchase was from one of Amazon's independent sellers so apparently amazon really isn't interested in providing customer service. I found the customer service link on one of Amazon's pages. I sent a message to Amazon, but could not REPLY to Amazon's non-responsive response as it is set up as a one way message rather than for a two way communication 1/20/2007.

Very good printer for the price.......2007-01-17

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.

Works as advertised. Network connection went flawlessly. Print quality is great. Runs with my Apple systems and Windows systems. A great deal considering the price.

Great Printer.......2006-03-16

I unpacked and installed the printer in under 30 minutes. I also added the printer to my two wireless laptops in about 5 minutes each. Great print quality.
