Great all around laser printer,

This review is from: Samsung ML-2851ND Network-Ready Monochrome Laser Printer (Office Product)
So far this laser has been great. i was looking for a laser that printed on both sides and network ready. The samsung filled the bill at a very attractive price (can be has for $160 with instant rebate). It was a breeze to setup on Mac OS 10.5 as a network printer. Bonjour found it and just use the Samsung driver. Also since it has native postscript support you can use the Generic Postscript Driver with it as well. Works fine under 10.5 that way as well. Printing speed is awesome, and printing on both sides is great. the smaller form factor is great too.

Good printer for medium level use with 2nd paper tray,

This review is from: Samsung ML-2851ND Network-Ready Monochrome Laser Printer (Office Product)
I've been using the printer for over 6 months. I print 1,000 - 2,000 pages every month. The Samsung ML-2851ND Network-Ready Monochrome Laser Printer works very well for my purposes.
I am running MAC OS 10.5.6 on a computer that is hooked to the printer via USB cable and MAC OS 10.4 on a computer that is hooked to the printer via network. Setup was intuitive. I have not experienced the print smear issues that other reviewers mentioned. The availability of a 250 Sheet Second Paper Tray (ML-S2850A) <Samsung 250 Sheet Second Paper Tray for ML-2851ND (ML-S2850A)> was influential in my decision to pick this printer. Thus the printer cost quite a bit more, but it was worth it for me so I didn't have to keep switching paper types in the tray. As a writer I print out a lot of drafts to hand edit. I recycle paper that already has print on one side. I keep one tray with new paper for printing on one side or two sides using the automatic duplex feature and the second tray full of paper to reuse, printing on only one side. I don't print a lot of envelopes, but when I do I just feed them one at a time by hand in the manual feeder, which does not accept more than one page. Paper jams occur occasionally, more often from the tray with the recycle paper, usually due to paper folding or other defect. On-screen instructions have been very helpful, providing detailed instructions on clearing the jam. Print cartridge replacement is intuitive. The printer ships with the ML-D2850A Black Toner Cartridge, which prints about 2,000 copies. I've replaced it with the Samsung ML-D2850B Black Toner Cartridge <Samsung ML-D2850B Black Toner Cartridge for ML-2851ND>, which prints about 5,000 copies. I don't print a lot of images, mostly just text. I've not kept close records on how many copies I've actually printed, but I use the toner save mode for the majority of the printing and my impression is that I'm getting a good return on the investment with the larger cartridge. I see that a cheaper high-yield print cartridge REFILL option is available <1 Black Samsung ML-2850 High Yield Toner Refill Kit, also for ML-2851 ML-D2850B ML-D2850A ML-D2850B INCLUDES RESET CHIP>. At this time the refill kit is not reviewed. I don't know if I want to go though the hassle and risk of funneling toner into cartridge or not, probably not.

Could have been great,
This review is from: Samsung ML-2851ND Network-Ready Monochrome Laser Printer (Office Product)
The ML2851ND is capable of some nice clean copies, good grayscale and quiet, fast operation. It is easy to set up, especially with Macintosh. It's footprint is fairly small for use in tight spaces. The only problem is that right out of the box about 95% of my copies printed with a smeary toner streak about a half an inch wide all the way down the left margin. This prints with varying densities most of the time but seems the darkest when the printer is first used. After about 10 to 15 copies it starts to fade, but the defect returns as the printer cools. I don't know if this is universal with this model, but it reflects very poor quality control on Samsung's part. Samsung's customer service was responsive but offered no workaround. I assume they are aware of the problem since they directed me to a repair center immediately. So, I've owned it for less than a week, and either must pack it all back up, insure it and ship it back to the online seller (not Amazon), or leave it with a repair shop. It's a no win situation.
