Samsung CLP-365W Color Laser Printer Driver and Software

The Samsung CLP-365W’s print speed is rather slow for a laser, at 19 pages per minute (ppm) for black and white and 4 pages per minute for color. In our Business Applications Suite I set an effective value of 3.2 ppm.

This makes the printer significantly slower than the Dell 1250c at 4.6 ppm and far slower than the slightly more expensive Brother HL-3045CN or the Samsung CLP-415NW, both of which were delivered at 6.0 ppm. It’s not even hard to find higher speed inkjet printers.

The printer’s output quality falls into much the same category as speed: usable, but not impressive. Text is just a touch below average for a color laser. This means it’s more than good enough for any business use, including one-page mailers and other basic marketing materials, but a little short for what you want for serious desktop publishing.

Graphics output is a given, making it easily suitable for everything from business needs to PowerPoint handouts. Depending on how critical your eye is, you may find it acceptable for printing your own marketing materials. Photos are a touch below average. Again, you may or may not consider them appropriate for marketing materials or similar.

Despite its relatively slow speed and slightly subpar overall output quality, the Samsung CLP-365W may be an acceptable, if not compelling, choice.
