Graphics were suitable for PowerPoint handouts, and even basic marketing materials.

Text was good enough for most any business need except for ones requiring especially small fonts, like demanding desktop publishing applications. Overall output quality was slightly above par for a color laser, with text of average quality, above-par graphics, and photo quality slightly below average. The HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer M451dw, rated at 21 ppm for both color and monochrome printing, limped in at 3.2 ppm. We timed the Editors' Choice Dell 2150cdn, rated at 24 pages per minute, at 5.5 ppm. The Editors' Choice Samsung CLP-415NW, rated at 19 ppm for both color and monochrome printing, tested at 6.0 ppm. It didn't affect our timings, as it happened after a test had been completed, in a preset idle time between tests, but it has the potential to slow down printing times a bit if you're running one job after another. That said, I noticed that several times the printer went into a calibration mode that could last a minute or so. (Our test suite combines text pages, graphics pages, and pages with mixed content.)

That's typical for its rated speed of 25 ppm for both color and monochrome, which would be approximately what you should get if you were to print text only. I timed the Samsung CLP-680ND on the latest version of our business applications suite (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing) at an effective 6.2 pages per minute (ppm). A host-based driver installs by default you can also install PostScript and XPS drivers by checking the appropriate boxes during the setup. The CLP-680ND offers USB and Ethernet (including Gigabit Ethernet) connectivity I tested it on an Ethernet network with drivers installed on a PC running Windows Vista. It has a monthly duty cycle of 60,000 pages, which should be fine for most small offices. The printer can accommodate an additional, optional 520-sheet tray for a maximum total capacity of 820 sheets. The CLP-680ND comes with a standard 300-sheet paper capacity, split between a 250-sheet main paper tray and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray, and it has an automatic duplexer.
