Samsung ML-2545

The Samsung ML-2545 can serve nicely as a personal mono laser in any size office.

Small. Ample paper capacity for personal use in any size office. Separate manual feed slot.

Slow. Although output quality is easily good enough for most business needs, text quality is a touch below par.

Samsung ML-2545

Samsung's ML-2545 is a fast mono laser printer available at a low price.

Output tray doubles as dust cover, Single-button screen print, Easy maintenance cartridge

No wireless connection, No duplex print, Not as small as it appears

It's an average laser printer

I hope this issue will not reoccur if i keep the feeder well stocked. Otherwise I would regret not buying the other printer model/brand that was on sale here as well. Printing on: Georgia-Pacific Basic Copy Paper 20Weight(75 g/m^2) 88Bright...

Laser printer ; Prints fast ; Does allow manual duplex printing ; Toner saving setting, dull contrast but manageable for school texts ; Better than an Ink-jet printer

Problem ; Has issues with double sided printing. I followed the steps correctly but some of the pages remained in the tray instead of coming out printed on the back side as well ; Solution ; Tried double sided printing a second time but added a lot...

SAMSUNG ML-2545 Printer

Occasionally the hi-volume printing needs exceed the speed of a basic inkjet, which was the primary reason I bought the SAMSUNG ; I like the 500 page paper tray ; The printer has performed as expected, no surprises ; The print toner cartridge that came...

Software interface is very simple as described online

LINUX

The reason for me writing this review is only to possibly help other Linux users with pointers on installation. For Windows, you just use the supplied CD and everything is obvious. For Linux, most printers you just plug USB in and it just works (CUPS...

The Samsung ML-2545 is a good and well priced printer that works great for me in both Linux and Windows

Its great that Samsung has linux support (drivers) on there website, but It seams that if you search the internet, many are having issues or confusion on what should be an easy and quick setup. I think it would be good for Samsung and its Linux...

For the money, it is a good backup printer

Really, overall I have no complaints. It is a nice little printer, and has sold me on the notion of sticking with laser printers in the future. My next will be a color laser multifunction, because ink jets are just too unreliable and expensive.

This printer has lived up to all the claims made. The screen print function is surprisingly good, and prints the taskbar screen only, which I appreciate. I have seen such software/firmware piece together all three monitors in the past ; The print...

The fluorescents dim when this thing cranks up. Seems like a degree of electrical interference that ought not occur. Otherwise I have no complaints. It is what it is, and it exists as what it is exceptionally well. It is a $50 printer that preforms...

Good printer

This printer was easy on the wallet hook it up, turn it on and load the software couldn't be simpler!! Buy it if you need a laser printer. It's quieter and faster than the 2510 I replaced it with.

Fantastic.

I've always owned inkjet printers. They were always slow, guzzled ink, and were clunky, inefficient machines. I had never purchased a laser printer before because they've always been out of my price range. I got sick of running out of black ink because...

It's FAST ; It prints ; It prints very clearly ; The auto feed function works flawlessly

Uhh... well I guess it is a LITTLE noisy. I've never heard of a silent printer though

Great printer for price.

This is a good buy if you just need to do general printing. I needed to print off tons of PDF's and the cost of buying new ink cartridges was about par with cost of this printer. Like said in Con's no USB cable is supplied. If you don't already have...

Very quiet and speedy when printing. It is plug n' play under Windows 7. It detects the printer and downloads the Samsung Manufacturers Driver from windows update site during install so no need to use the driver disk. Great deal under the current...

Not going to knock an egg off for this but, no USB cable is supplied. I do recommend if you don't already have one purchase one. I already had a USB cable from the Ink Jet Printer I was replacing
