The CLP-315W also takes the longest to spit out any kind of color document, scoring a measly 3.64 pages per minute for color graphics and 4.07 pages per minute for color text. It scored 13.15 pages per minute for plain black speed, slightly faster than the Dell 1320c. Relative to other similarly priced color laser printers, the CLP-315W is significantly slower than the pack in both black and white and especially color prints. The whole procedure took approximately half an hour to establish a successful wireless connection.
Once you obtain all the necessary reports, the connection wizard in SyncThru will handle the rest of the setup process. The report shows the printer's IP address and other information you need to put in the SyncThru Web Service, a Web server embedded into the driver that lets you adjust your network settings without additional software. Establishing a wireless connection between the printer and our test bed gave us a bit of a headache, but once we realized how to print out the network configuration report, the rest became easy. As always, we suggest installing the driver with the printer attached to your computer with USB 2.0 at first, and then setting up an ad-hoc wireless connection. The printer also has built in 802.11b/g for printing wirelessly from your computer. Small businesses and workgroups with a high volume of monthly prints might be better suited for other printers such as the Brother HL-4040CN that can handle 35,000 pages per month.
The CLP-315W's duty cycle number is 20,000 pages. The Samsung is also limited by the number of pages it can print per month. Since the black and color cartridges cost the same, we can estimate that each page will cost about 4 cents to print, slightly more expensive than the Dell 1320c. Each cartridge only comes in one capacity (1,000 pages) and can be purchased through a variety of channels for about $40. The cartridges are lightweight and easy to remove and replace using the color-coded tabs. The CLP-315W uses four toner cartridges (three colors and one black) hidden behind a drop-down panel on the front faceplate.
