I bought this printer a few weeks back. So, my review can only attest to the initial quality and operation of the printer. When shopping for a printer, I wanted a small, wireless (i.e. WiFi enabled), laser printer that I could use on my home wireless network. This printer fits the bill.
Once I received the printer, setup was incredibly easy. You just hook the USB cable to your computer, follow the software prompts, and then the printer is suddenly connected to the WiFi network. That is the last time I used the cable. Now, when I hit print on my laptop, it prints wirelessly.
I also like that the printer is relatively quick (24 ppm) and prints clean, crisp laser prints quickly. For $99, this is great deal and I’m pleased with the purchase.
I’d recommend buying this laser printer over the all-in-one units. While those all encompassing units may be tempting, I think you end up with a better deal by buying this Samsung printer and then buying a high-quality scanner as a separate item. For instance, I bought a separate Fujitsu Scansnap scanner (also, a very compact item). It scans so much better than the scanner I have on the all-in-one that I bought a couple years ago.

Very good printer overall. I just need to warn people…at least people with a mac…that the wireless setup is very tricky. Samsungs instructions don’t work and the mac software and drivers on the disc also do not work.
What I did was I connected an ethernet cord from the computer to the printer and then used the IP setup software on the disc to locate the printer (I had to disconnect from all wireless networks to ensure I didn’t confuse the setup).
You can get your computer’s IP address in the Network tab of System Preferences. Using the IP setup software on the Samsung disc, select the printer and click the button to change settings (it looks like a gear). Change the IP address of the printer to that of your computer but change the last digit to something else( Ex: if the mac’s ip is 1.2.3.4, change the printer’s to 1.2.3.5). Once that is done, make the subnet mask identical to that of your mac (subnet is also in system prefs) and save the settings. Your printer will print out a confirmation page. Then, with the ethernet cord still attached, type in the printer’s new ip address in Safari. You will then be able to access the printer’s internal webpage.
Once at the website, click the Network Configuration on the left (mine is in French so the English may be a bit different). Then under that subheading, click TCP/IP. Then in what shows up, you need to change the printer from having a static IP address to using DHCP. Once you do that and save your settings, you should be able to print wirelessly using the ad hoc setting (meaning the computer has a direct wifi connection with the printer) once you connect to the “airportthru” network with your Airport card.
If you want the printer available on your home network, go back into the printer settings and select your network and enter your password. The printer will connect to your home network.
I hope this works for you guys. It worked for me and Samsung makes great products but has lousy support.

I bought a Samsung ML-2525W about a month ago for home use. Setting it up for use via USB cable was trivial; getting it up on my wireless network took a bit more fiddling. The instructions were difficult to decipher. I expect that a person who is not sufficiently computer savvy would need phone support to complete the wireless setup.
Once configured, the printer has been extremely easy to use. It prints quickly and quietly. Text looks great, with dark, thick toner coverage and sharp edges. It’s better than the old Brother I replaced, and I thought that was pretty good.
No idea yet about reliability.

I was looking for an aesthetically pleasing wireless laser printer on the cheap and this hit the nail on the head. I had no idea Samsung had branched out into printer territory, but my experience with this product will encourage me to try their brand again in the future. Wireless setup was easy (on both PC and Mac), and I have no qualms about the print quality. I am much happier with this snappy laser printer and the Fujitsu ScanSnap than I ever was with my clunky multifunction inkjet.

I could not get the wireless to work with my router. So this is not a great wireless printer. Even the wired connection had some trouble. The biggest reason I gave 2 stars is that the printer just doesn’t print properly. The right side of the page is missing the printed text on about a fifth of the width of the page. The printed text is too light. This is probably a refurbished printer that was sold as a new one. I have asked for a replacement and [...] is sending a replacement.
