Samsung ML-3051ND Review

by Paul Jasper

- The Samsung ML-3051ND should easily satisfy the printing needs of a small office with several busy users. It handles paper well and produces fine quality text and images at high speeds. However, at $299 (as of 8/4/2006), it's pricier than the similarly configured Brother HL-5250DN, which in the past has received our Best Buy award.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quiet. Low purchase price. Auto-duplexing. Incredibly low cost per page.

    Weaknesses: Paper tray capacity is too low. However, two-sided printing of draft documents does help.

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased this printer for our law office a couple weeks ago. It has worked flawlessly and the network connection was a piece of cake. Now all of our computers can print directly to the network printer without the need for sharing. The only problem I had was getting it to work with a very old, soon to be disposed of, Windows 98 computer. However, the Samsung website had the necessary driver and the problem was solved once I shared the printer through another newer computer.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Speed and print quality

    Weaknesses: Support is bad, good luck if you ever have problem with their products!

    Overall Evaluation: After buy support is awfull! After two months I am yet to see my printer back from warranty repair and they dont want even to extend warranty for that time! I know that I will skip Samsung in my purchases in future.
