  1. Samsung ML-2851 Laser Printer

    Reviewer: About.com
    12 May 2008

    The Samsung ML-2851 is made for small and home businesses, and it's a great value for those types of businesses, as long as they recognize its limitations: it's not an all-in-one, so a fax, scanner, and printer for color copies will be separate purchases. But if monochrome printing is all that's needed, this printer can churn out good-looking pages like nobody's business. Read more

It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves. Read more

    I bought this printer based on great consumer reviews. It wasn't the cheapest printer out there but the duplex option was attractive to me so it was worth the extra $50. I was nervous about the set up since some consumers complained that they had problems, but I have had none so far. I also read that people noticed that the paper curls a bit and there were printing streaks on the sides. I've printed about 50 sheets now with none of those problems. I highly recommend!! Read more
