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!

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.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
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?).

Pros: Great price point, fast, relatively quite, good low power mode.
Cons: Jams sometimes during duplex printing.
Other Thoughts: We bought about 18 of these over the last year. Only one was DOA. A couple have experienced jams while using duplex mode (no jam in simplex). I looked at the duplex mechanism and saw that it has rollers on only one side. Don't know if this is related to the jams, but it does seem to match the symptom that the paper angles off to one side when a jam happens.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
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).
