Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung ML2571N Compact Laser PrinterCustomer Review: Excellent and reliable home/small business monochrome laser printer Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this printer in January 2008 and I am writing a review for this in December 2010. It has been almost 3 years and I am still using this printer as the primary network printer for home and home office use. This has been a reliable printer to say the least and still going. I have been using this to print 8.5x11 papers, labels, stickers and envelopes and have achieved great results. This has been our primary network printer at home and receives daily usage from everyone in the family of four.
Installation was a piece of cake. I usually download the latest drivers from manufacturer's website. Driver download is not confusing and setup is a piece of cake. Once setup is completed, your wireless/wired computers should have no problem seeing the network printer on the network. You can also connect to the printer via your browser to configure it to work the way you want. You may want to set your router to reserve a fixed IP for the printer's MAC address or set the printer to use static IP so that you and your computer will never have trouble finding it.
I have used numerous compact laser printers. I typically use HP or Brother laser printers. This is my first Sansung but probably one of the best I have used. The print quality is on par with more expensive laser printers. I print a lot of professional documents such as proposals, legal papers and contracts and I have never been afraid that this printer would embarrass me. It may not be the fastest laser printer but for its price range, I believe it is on par if not faster than most "budget" and "compact" laser printers.
The network response can be a bit slow sometimes and the printer may include some blank pages as it has trouble "splitting" papers. Paper jams are inevitable but I have had over 80% success (no paper jam) rates for the past 3 years using this printer. Paper jams are inevitable even with big and complex printers. This printer's structure is simple and paper jams are easy to resolve.
I have been using generic ink cartridge and refills since the original cartridge ran dry. You can usually find them on ebay and they are quite affordable even though refilling and replacing the fuse can take a little bit of work, you can definitely save a ton of money. Don't worry, using generic ink will not destroy your baby printer. I have been using it for the past 3 years for this printer and it works fine and prints fine. It is 3 years later and there are better printers out there by Samsung and other manufacturers but even by today's standards, I still consider this printer to be reliable and efficient. I might be adding another printer to our network for multifunction purposes but I will continue using this printer as my primary B&W or Grayscale printing.
