For years there's been a trade-off in business office printing. You could have an attractive, compact package, or you could have power and speed. Well, the wait is over! Samsung has managed to combine both in the ML-2851ND. It can help reduce costs with its 30,000 page monthly duty cycle and TonerSave mode that can extend the cartridge life up to 40%.
Run large jobs without worry from the 250-sheet paper cassette, and handle envelopes, labels, post cards, transparencies without worry. Work smart. Work fast. Look good! Samsung does it all!

Great Printer
- Pros: Duplex, native PostScript, networking, Linux compatable, compact design, fast, quiet, internal paper tray, and on top of all that, it even prints well.
- Cons: None so far.
- Other Thoughts: Plug and play in Fedora 6 Linux using USB connection. Cups automatically chose the "Generic PostScript Driver", which works great and alows using the Duplex feature. I just had to set the default paper size and turn on dulexing in the printer options.
Lots of features
- Pros: Came with starter/standard toner cartridge. Setup CD worked well. Network access with a browser reveals many, many options for setting defaults (duplex, toner saver, enhanced text, 600/1200, static IP, SNMP, email notification...) and retrieving info (toner life, pages printed, etc.). Compact, light-weight, most of the time quiet, fast printing simplex, prints duplex by running paper out the top and then pulling it back in which seems to work ok. Doesn't dim the lights like my old printer did.
- Cons: Newegg didn't indicate that it came with toner cartridge and they were sold out so I looked around - cartridge was not carried locally nor very many places on-line (yet?).

Could have been nice, but isn't
- Pros: Cheap, quiet. Functioning as a single-sided network printer is fine.
- Cons: I bought this from Newegg almost exactly a year ago. We need a duplex printer. After three months, it started jamming when duplex printing. The problem got more serious as time went on. Finally we had to never use duplex - not only would it jam every time, but the top eighth of the page was missing and/or smeared. I waited until just before the 1-year warrantee period, and sent it in for repair. The repair place, very nice people, attended to it right away, and requested the replacement part Samsung specificied. Now it's been more than three weeks, and Samsung still hasn't sent the part. They say it's back-ordered, and won't do anything else, like send a refurbished printer instead. We've been without a printer for a month, so I just ordered an HP - we have to have a printer. I am extremely disappointed, and will never buy a Samsung printer again (their monitor I have is, I must admit, pretty nice). Their service is worse than terrible. So I give this zero stars (eggs).
Great Features, Poor Quality
- Pros: Fast printing, duplexer, and network connectivity at an unbeatable price.
- Cons: Poor print quality, no straight-thru paper path for thicker materials, duplexer jams easily causing wasted paper, margins when printing with the Mac drivers are slightly off/different from most other printers.
- Other Thoughts: I purchased this printer to replace an aging HP 5P that served me quite well for many years, but it was slow and needed a new toner. So I figured I would look for something new. I really wanted something with networking built in. I was leaning toward a Brother, but then saw this Samsung, which had great reviews. However, I was fairly disappointed. While it prints fast, the print quality is most certainly not up to par with my old HP 5P. The blacks are just not as dark as my HP or my Brother laser printer. I was also shocked to see that there is no straight-thru paper path. If you want to print an envelope or other thick material, there are levers on the back you release for this, but it still curves them into the top output tray, leaving you with curved material. I also found the manual feed "tricky" to feed straight.
Overall, a big disappointment.
Awesome Printer
- Pros: Duplex Printing, network interface
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: we can throw away the printer since the toner costs 95 bucks
