Samsung ML-2165W

 

If you need a personal mono laser to sit on your desk, and don't want to give up a lot of desktop real estate for it, the Samsung ML-2165W ($130 street) is a tempting choice. It offers Wi-Fi, suitable paper capacity for a personal printer, reasonably...

Small size. WiFi. Ample paper capacity for personal use in any size office. Reasonably high-quality text and graphics

Although fast enough for personal use, it's slower than the competition. High running cost

The Samsung ML-2165W comes up short on paper handling, but offers reasonably high quality output and a small size that makes it a good fit as a personal mono laser in any size office.

Samsung ML-2165W

 

This basic monochrome laser is suited for low-volume use, boasting a minimal purchase price and size--but also minimal features and maximal toner costs.

Sharp text output

Manual duplexing only, and not for Macs ; High toner cost

The elegantly simple Samsung ML-2165W monochrome laser printer gives you laser-sharp text for only $150. It’s also quite compact, measuring a mere 13 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep by 7 inches high, so it’s suitable for small work areas. Extra features...

COMPUTER SHOPPER - GOOD FOR GAMING

Expert review by:

Samsung ML-2165W

 

When you hear the term "personal laser printer," what comes to mind? We bet it's not a device that's smaller than a breadbox and lighter than some laptops. And what is a personal printer, anyway?

Fast ; Very small and light ; Respectable print quality

Slightly substandard gray-scale photo printing for a laser ; High toner cost

A personal monochrome laser, this fast little machine churns out great-looking business and text documents, if at a slightly elevated per-page cost for toner. It's a good pick for budget-strapped small offices or students with moderate output needs.

Great Printer at a Great Price

 

So far this printer is great. Easy to set up as a wireless printer that works for two computers. The price was about what replacing my cartridges for my old printer would have been.

Does just what I needed it to do

 

Great printer for the price. I replaced my Samsung ML-2151 non-wireless for this one. I also installed the Samsung Mobile Print App on our IPAD and IPHONES and immediately printed from these devices. Very pleased!!!
