    Colour laser printers are big, heavy, expensive pieces of kit that really need to be shared by a workgroup to make them viable… aren’t they? Apparently not. Samsung’s CLP-315 is a small, light, inexpensive colour laser printer, almost ideally suited for single use by a sole trader or the manager in a larger organisation. Read more

  2. Samsung CLP-315W Color Laser Printer Review

    Reviewer: HardwareCentral
    7 October 2008

    As far as control buttons and dials go, the Samsung has a stop button on top and a power switch on the rear. Period. The former serves various functions in addition to canceling a print job, such as printing a network configuration report with an alarming amount of information when pressed and held down. The CLP-315W offers a generally excellent out-of-the-box experience. Ethernet or USB 2.0 users can simply plug the printer into an office network or a PC, respectively,... Read more

  3. Samsung CLP-315 Color Laser Printer

    This very inexpensive color laser printer from Samsung will fit the bill for small and home offices that need sharp and clear color prints. It's quiet but not all that fast, which isn't a major issue unless you need to print a lot. A networkable version (not tested) adds a level of convenience. It's not as stylishly futuristic as some of Samsung's other recent offerings, but it has a very small footprint. All in all, a good entry-level color laser printer. Read more

    The CLP-315 is a serious contender to inkjets. Colour laser is ready to enter the homes and no longer only be office equipment. Remember however that at this price, inkjets are multifunction : they can copy, they can scan…and more often than not have wireless connectivity. You will get none of that here. Read more

    Highly recommended for the home office. Small size, quiet operation, good image quality, incredibly inexpensive. Hard to go wrong with this printer. I hope it lasts as long as my 15 year old B/W HP 4L Laserjet that is still kicking. Read more

    Works fine, great price, good print quality, easy to install, no problems after two months. Not real quiet or quick, especially with first page. Almost impossible to remove paper to do envelopes -the only big disadvantage to this model. Read more

    This is a great small color laser printer for any home user or student. I upgraded from a Monochrome Wireless Laser printer (a Brother HL-2170W) and there are a few things that I like both about this one and the Brother wireless laser printers. The Good things about the Samsung CLP-315W are that - It has Wireless WPA/WPA2 with AES - It gives you the option of having it hooked up to your router, computer, or let it be completely wireless - I quickly found the latest...
