The invention of small portable communication devices such as the laptop or the mobile phone showed us just how very important is to have the possibility of sharing information with other people in any conditions. Until the discovery of the wireless technology, geographical conditions, for example, made impossible and impracticable the long distance communication.

The Bluetooth system is the most popular wireless technology although the notion of wireless basically means the transfer of information by using forms of energy such as the radio frequency, the infrared light or the acoustic energy without the need of wires. The use of the wireless tech is mostly associated with portable electronic devices such as the mobile phones or the mini-laptops to other related devices such as the printers, the scanner or the wireless printers, made either by HP, Canon or any other famous company.


And since this is such a useful discovery why not use it for any electronic item? This way of thinking was adopted by all computer manufacturers, especially Canon and HP, known for their great computer-related products.

As you have probably noticed, to link these wireless computer devices to a laptop or desktop computer you will need a wireless router and an Ethernet port and the build-in USB’s necessary to link the two products with cables and adapter to search for the wireless network. The network adapter will be installed by inserting the drivers CD in the computer CD drive and use a cable to make the connection and select the option “Create or modify the printer’s wireless settings” and finally make the wireless connection by selecting the option “Wireless networks found in your area”. The user’s manual that come with those bought products will indicate you exactly the steps of how to use the wireless HP printers.

The Hewlett-Packard company, generally known as HP, is one of the leading names in the computer and computer-related devices industry, alongside other manufacturers such as Canon, Epson, Samsung or Sony. On our daily activities, especially the professional ones, we rely on technology and the advantages we have by simply using it are multiple and let’s face it, technology makes out life easier.

The Samsung CLP-315W printer was equipped with built-in wireless connectivity options, an important option that offer the users the possibility to wireless connect many computers at the same printer.

Its design is boxy, and at the same time does not need a very wide space for storage. In fact, it is quite small, the smallest in its class. Another important advantage when you consider buying this Samsung CLP-315W printer is the possibility to change each cartridge at a time, thus saving more money. However, these advantages do not cover the lack of speed, or the not so good quality of the printings. This is why we consider that the price established at $250, is a bit higher than it should be according to its real capacities.

The most important feature of this wireless printer is the minimalist design, resembling with a black piano that has glossy plastic trim and a compact appearance. Its dimensions measure 15.3 inches wide, 12.3 inches deep and 9.6 inches tall, while its weight reaches to 24.3 pounds. You can agree that this wireless printer is much smaller than the usual laser printers available on the market. As a comparison, we name the Dell 1320c which is half bigger than the Samsung CLP-315W, and its weight is accordingly heavier as well, while it does not feature the wireless connection option.

At the top, the Samsung CLP-315W printer does not have any special design, being quite simple and lacking auxiliary elements that other printers form the same category have. It has one power button and some LED lights that show the status of the wireless connection, as well as the paper jam problems or toner shortages. There is a removable paper tray at the bottom side of the printer, which is spacious enough and holds up to 150 sheets of paper that can measure from 8.5 to 14 inches.

There are four toner cartridges you will use for printing, one of them is black, and the others are colored. The access to them is made from the front of the printer’s case, very easy. There is one dedicated capacity for each cartridge of 1,000 pages, which can be found in various specialty stores. The cartridges aren’t too heavy either, and thus they can be easily handled when changing is required. There is a certain number of pages the Samsung CLP-315W can print every month, of only 20,000 pages, which will not easily fit into a business environment either.

The 802.11b/g built in option makes the wireless printing possible, while installing this option’s driver is previously done through an USB 2.0 port. It will not prove easy the wireless option setting, but it will work flawless after it has been established. A printed report will be available when you will set the wireless option, which will take you step by step to the final connection. There is a report about the IP address and the SyncThru Web Service, from which the later will generate a connection wizard to help you through the rest of the setting process. This process will not take more than half an hour.
