Samsung ML-2525W user reviews

Cons Was very happy with this printer until around a week ago when I installed an automated firmware update. Immediately following the update the printer failed to recognize my 3rd party toner cartridge. Samsung tech support, was rude and unhelpful. on November 18, 2010 by chrisbarlow79  | Read full review

Cons WORST printer ever! Customer service FORCES you to keep their product by having you waste your time, money and energy continuing to bring their useless crap to a service center 45 minutes away. WASTED MONEY!! BUY A HP printer!!! on August 10, 2010 by SNOW419  | Read full review

Cons NOT Mac compatible! 1) It's definitely not plug and play. 2) The setup instructions in the manual DO NOT match the actual software setup. 3) 3 hours into trying to make this things work on my wi-fi network and it still isn't working! on July 27, 2010 by cundiffw  | Read full review

Cons after 1.5 years of use, it became very noisy. then it began to heat up more frequently.
then ultimately it started on FIRE! We bought two and they both did it. on June 21, 2010 by trucksisentinc  | Read full review

Cons None. An reasy Fix for wireless Mac printing though:

Do not use the install disc! Instead:

- Go to System Preferences
- Go to Print & Fax
- Click the + sign
- Choose the Samsung ML-2525W printer

Wireless Printing will work perfect then. on September 1, 2010 by ceruleansin  | Read full review

Cons Haven't found any yet! Maybe it's a little difficult to get hooked up to your wireless network, but as usual...just follow the directions. on February 21, 2011 by richknapp  | Read full review

Cons Will not print at the second try giving out a message that "printer is offline". on October 10, 2010 by aobc  | Read full review

Cons Starter print cartridge. on July 8, 2010 by oioailksdjflakjdfljadslkj  | Read full review

Cons I hate that Samsung and others (HP) include a starter toner cartridge. List price for replacement toner cartridge is a complete rip off. Draws lots of current when starting a print job, normal for laser printers. on June 30, 2010 by GlennMS  | Read full review

Cons the printer was initially inexpensive but the replacement cartridge was expensive and did not come close to achieving the claimed performance of 1500 sheets.

replacement cartridge was $92 CAD and has cost me 14 cents per sheet. on September 28, 2010 by stuffy47  | Read full review

Cons Latest firmware "upgrade" has the unadvertised effect of making the printer inoperable if a third-party toner cartridge is installed. No company should have the right to downgrade a product's performance after it has been purchased. on December 11, 2011 by zxquinn  | Read full review

Cons Never got it to work as a wireless printer. I have two macs and a PC with windows 7. TRIED ALL THE DRIVERS AND THE FORUMS!!! Nothing worked. on March 19, 2011 by flyfisher31  | Read full review

Cons None so far...
Starter Toner sort of sucks, I bought a new one when I got the machine on August 28, 2010 by senojjones  | Read full review

Cons The instructions need some work. To get the MAC Address you need to hold down the test page button for about 5 seconds to have it print out a configuration report. I never saw that in the instructions or missed it. on August 16, 2010 by regulas1  | Read full review

Cons Would not connect to the secured wireless network. If the security was disabled it would connect fine. on July 25, 2010 by lordkass411  | Read full review

Cons — Heats up QUICKLY
— Prints pages curved (sometimes eats 2 pages)
— Goes into "unwakeable sleep mode" after period of time, requiring a restart
— Flickers the lights on the same circuit on July 9, 2012 by happygolucky101lol-22784636943  | Read full review

Cons The paper tray will not feed envelopes and the manual feed jams after each one; 7 jams for 3 envelopes on a printer unboxed less than 24 hours ago. Resetting requires removal of the print cartridge each time.
