If you looking for a low-cost colour laser printer maybe the Samsung CLP-300 could be just perfect for you. With 150-sheet multipurpose tray projecting from the bottom of the front panel.Printed pages feed out to the indented top surface and a fold-out paper support is needed to stop pages sliding off the front.

Over at trustedreviews.com they said “Samsung quotes 4ppm for colour print and our five-page, mixed text and colour graphics document took 1 minute 27 seconds. This equates to 3.45ppm, probably the closest to a published figure we’ve seen this year. The 15 x 10cm photo image took 33 seconds, making this just under 2ppm, including rasterising time.”

* Print Speed: 17 ppm Black, 4 ppm Color
* Resolution: Up to 2400 x 600 dpi
* Paper Handling: 150 Sheet Input Capacity Consists of:
1 x 150 Sheet Semi-Cassette Tray
* Memory: 32 MB
* Connectivity: USB
* Environments: PC, Mac, and Linux Compatible

One of the features of the Samsung ML-2510 is its compact size coming in at 354 x 297 x 246 mm (13.9 x 11.7 x 9.7 inch). This small compact printer can print an impressive 24 PPM for A4 and 25 PPM for letter size.

The guys over at pcauthority.com ran some tests and say “On the plus side, the ML-2510 is exceptionally easy to take care of. The only removable part is the combined toner and drum, which means replacing a toner cartridge is a job that will take less than a minute. The cartridge itself will cost $100 and will print 3000 pages, although the starter cartridge supplied only runs to a decidedly stingy 1000 pages.”

One of the things missing from the ML 2510 is a network port (Ethernet port) this may not affect basic users but for some more advanced user with networks at home is might be an issue.

Overall this is a smashing little printer with an impressive printing speed.
