Setup
This was a very simple process:
1) Unpack printer
2) Plug in AC power cord
3) Insert drivers on CD
4) Plug in cable(s)
5) Follow instructions from the CD
Although these steps are
very easy, I did
have a minor
problem.
Many of the
print jobs
started to
print and
stalled after
17% or 72%
of loading. I
solved this
problem
by re-
mov-
ing
the
USB
cable
from my powered
hub and plugging it in directly to my Mac.
All in all, this was one of the easiest printers to set up.
The printer came with a foldout sheet giving you the
basics. If you needed more information, the CD had
a 107-page manual with more instructions.
Quality of Printouts
I compared the printouts of both the HP LaserJet
2025dn and HP Ocejet 6500 to see what were the
plusses and minuses of each. For sharp text print-
outs, the laser cannot be beat. However for excellent
photographic reproduction, the Photosmart was
better.
The Samsung color printouts from the Web were
comparable to the inkjet and HP laser. However
when I printed a photo, I noticed that the Samsung
color scale was slightly o. But when you consider
the cost of this printer, it is a small dierence.
Negatives
With such an inexpensive color laser printer, there
are bound to be some drawbacks. One of the prime
ones is that you are limited to a 150-sheet paper tray.
That may not be a problem if you do limited quantity
printing.
This is a USB-only printer. If you need a net-
work connection, this is not the printer
for you!
Reports on the Web indicated that
the CL-315 did not operate under
drivers working under Leopard or
Snow Leopard (10.5 or 10.6) operating
systems. Note that my Mac is running
10.6 and I discovered no printer driver
issues.
Dimensions
Check out these specs and
you can see how small a
color laser can be:
Size: 15.3” x 12.3” x 9.6” (w x d h)
Weight: 24.3 lbs
Conclusion
Color laser printers have markedly come down in
price. The Samsung CLP-315 is a perfect example of
this reduction. If you have wanted a laser printer,
yet have a small monthly volume, this printer could
be the perfect one for you.
Like everything else, buying a color laser printer is a
personal decision. Only you can weigh the pros and
cons of such a purchase. However, with the price of
color lasers coming down, a printer like the CLP-315
looks more attractive than those beasts of just a few
years ago.
