Samsung ML-2955ND

Samsung ML-2955ND

Clearly aimed at a micro, small, or home office, or as a personal printer in any size office, the Samsung ML-2955ND ($130 street) is small enough to fit on a desk comfortably, yet offers an appropriate paper capacity and speed to serve as either a personal or shared printer. It doesn't hurt at all that the price is low enough to make it highly affordable as well. The ML-2955ND has a lot in common with the slightly more expensive Brother HL-2270DW ($150 street, 4 stars), starting with a similar size. Both are smaller than many inkjets. The ML-2955ND measures 7.7 by 13.7 by 13.3 inches (HWD). That makes it taller than the Brother printer by a little less than an inch, but it also gives it a slightly smaller footprint. Shared features include wired network support, along with a USB connection, and essentially identical paper handling. The network support makes the printers easy to share. The paper handing is appropriate for either a micro office or personal use, with a 250-sheet tray, 1-sheet manual feed, and built-in duplexer for printing on two sides of the page. Neither printer offers additional paper handling options. One feature the HL-2270DW offers that the ML-2955ND doesn't is wireless network support.
