Samsung ML-2855ND Monochrome Laser Printer

Replaced my USB HP 1300 with this printer. It is on a mixed mac and Windows XP network. Extremely easy to setup. Plug into ethernet port and Bonjour instantly recognized and set up on mac via Printer system preferences, Install disc adds nice features on the mac such as IP address, toner level etc., very convenient. Also very easy to add to windows XP machines . Samsung did a great job of adding features that are Mac OS X compatible. Very solid construction, with convenient 50 tray auxiliary paper path, also designed for more heavy usage compared to ML2851. Only complaint is it seems to take a second or two longer to print the first sheet, and toner is not readily available at local office megastore.

Update: After 1 week in office first page out deemed too slow, returned and purchased HP P2055ND, It seems much quicker to print the first page, which is important in my setting, where we print single sheet walk out statements/receipts. The HP is more costly, but...Read more

My first ML-2855ND printer was DOA because the interface circuits on the board were bad. This made it impossible to set up.

Samsung states that there is a warranty but this may be some of the new definition for "transparency" being floated by some of our leaders. If not, it sure is good old double speak.

I contacted the retailer and they exchanged it, even paying for return shipping. This is one of the largest Internet suppliers and I give them "Egg"cellent feedback for their...Read more

I bought this printer to produce multi copies for teaching purposes. It is quick,quiet and produces clear crisp copies. Make sure that you have purchased an additional toner cartridge if you need to do lots of printing. The included starter cartridge prints maybe 1,000-1,500 copies. This practice of putting "sub-standard toner cartridges" in new machines is a sneaky way of CHEATING consumers. Consumers are forced to buy another "standard cartridge" immediately for another $90.00-$100.00 in order to finish any large projects.
