Samsung ML-2252W Toner Cartridges

Samsung ML-2252W Printer Review

The Samsung ML-2252W is a monochrome laser printer that is built to reside in small or medium offices. Though it will not print in color and does not have an overwhelming monthly duty cycle, most mid-level businesses will get the performance needed to run an efficient and productive operation. The ML-2252W offers many different connection options, as well as networking. Networking allows many different people to use this printer at the same time.

The connection types are parallel, USB and ethernet. The ethernet is what allows the networking support, and there is also a wireless connection that will provide an added convenience for those who choose to use it. The built-in memory is 16 MB but can be expanded all the way up to 144 MB, meaning the ML-2252W is intended to grow with a business. There is a 250-sheet input tray that helps to make up the total 300-sheet paper capacity.

The single black Samsung ML-2252W toner cartridge that comes with the printer upon purchase has a page yield of 5,000 pages. However, there is high-capacity printer toner available that will last 10,000 pages before expiring. When replacement toners are needed, they can be purchased directly from the manufacturer. For a more economical option, though, remanufactured Samsung ML-2252W toner cartridges are available from third party vendors. They will work just as well as the OEM product but cost a lot less.

The pace of this unit is 20 pages per minute, which is about average for a laser printer of this size and price. No quality is lost due to speed, as the Samsung ML-2252W toner can produce a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi. This will provide professional prints every time. The ML-2252W is compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems, but will not work with Macs. It is a reliable printer that will last for years.
