Samsung ML-2525 Laser Printer

The Samsung ML-2525 series has won BLI’s Summer 2010 “Pick” for “Outstanding Personal Monochrome Printer.”

“A few things immediately jump out at me,” said BLI Assistant Editor Marc Bussanich. “First, the unit sailed through durability testing with no misfeeds recorded and no service of any kind required. Output was very good overall, and actual running speed in our job stream suite was faster than average. Plus, the ML-2525 series is simple to use, and easy to maintain thanks to straightforward procedures for clearing jams and replacing the print cartridge.”

BLI Senior Test Technician Tony Maceri agreed. “Users get a standard wireless connetioin and the unit has a compact footprint, is simple to install, and has Samsung Any Web Print, which allows users to copy and paste content from the Internet onto a bland page and then output it.” Maceri went on to say that toner-save mode in the proprietary SPL driver helps extend the life of the print cartridge, which can be returned to the company for recycling using a prepaid shipping label.

The Print Screen function is a quick and easy way to print the contents of your screen, and it's especially useful if you handle a high volume of web-based information. You can pull together web pages, pictures or other documents in separate windows on your screen, and print them all together in a single operation – instead of having to process them individually. All you do is press the Print Screen button on the printer control panel.

Samsung's AnyWeb Print software is another useful feature. It allows you to select, drag and drop content from different webpages into a new blank page on screen, without any resizing or other editing.
