If you are short of space and looking for a printer that works efficiently and is a true space saver, then Samsung ML-2165 can be the right choice! Because it has a compact footprint, it is ideal for small workplaces. Being a monochrome printer, this printer accepts black Samsung ML-2165 Toner cartridges.

This unit comes with a 150-sheet input tray and an output tray that can hold around 100 printed pages. It allows you to do duplex printing, though you will have to manually reinsert the papers. Also, multiple computers can be connected to this Black and White printer at the same time using the USB port and Ethernet Interface. This printer uses starter Samsung ML-2165 Toner cartridges which are able to produce around 1,500 pages before running out.

What we loved most about this printer is that it is able to bring “dust-free” printing to your small office or home office, thanks to its innovative design. Keeping the printer dust free will help in many areas, one of them being its performance. This machine has a design that looks at preventing dust particles and it also protects the internal mechanism of the printer. The Print Screen button on the ML-2165's control panel is a simple yet useful feature. You don't even have to be at your workstation to use this button to print the information on your screen.

The advantages of using this printer do not end here. The software, Easy Print Manager, makes it possible for you to set up and monitor your device.

The finest feature of this printer is the print quality it provides. It delivers the highest quality output utilizing its Samsung ML-2165 Toner cartridges, with a maximum resolution of up to 1200 dpi. It also substantiates the claimed output speed of 20 pages per minute. On a 5-page document sheet, we could observe a very good speed from this printer. If you are required to get the prints quickly and are close to your deadline, this printer can be a saviour and deliver the prints as soon as possible, all thanks to high capacity Samsung ML-2165 Toner cartridges.

One thing we did not like about this machine is that it jams with paper on every single print job. Under testing, it clogged on the very first sheet, however, we could not observe it again. But not to forget we did face issues even while printing a single page successfully with this product. Also, the wifi connectivity took longer than expected, which is also one of the reasons for our disappointment. It didn’t seem like a time-consuming task but we ended up spending hours connecting it to wifi.

The ML-2165 laser printer is an excellent option for people on a tight budget, but those who need colour printing should look elsewhere because the machine is only designed to produce black and white text documents using its black Samsung ML-2165 Toner cartridges.

Review

Samsung ML-2165 is an entry-level monochrome laser printer apt for a small office or personal use. The device offers simple yet efficient functions like quality printing at a reliable speed. It accepts a variety of media including plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, envelopes, labels, and recycled paper.

The machine is compact and easy to place on a small desktop. Thanks to its dimensions that correspond to 13 x 8.5 x 7 inches (WDH). It weighs just 4 kgs - which is good enough for a personal printer. The control panel is equipped with a small LCD monitor that displays printer messages. The printing speed of the machine goes up to 20 ppm for a standard A4 size paper. So, it can easily help small workgroups. Moreover, the quality of texts and graphics is suitable for business standards. Besides, space to accommodate high-yielding Samsung ML-2165 toner cartridges improves productivity. The main input tray holds up to 150 sheets at a time so this may be disappointing for small business users with a heavy workload. Another function lacking in this device is wireless networking. Only a high-speed USB connectivity option is available to print directly via flash drives. Users can print from Windows and Mac PCs as well.
