Same here
The wireless works for a day or two and then stops. The only way I found to fix it is to reinstall the driver. Makes it completely useless. I wish I had bought another printer.
It is too bad since the printer is other very good.

wifi issues
I had similar issue with WiFi the solution that worked for me was chanig IP address of the printer since it was causing IP conflict on my network. I downloaded Samsung set ip software provided on Samsung support site. I use d-link router that is working well with my other devices the other issue was the security used for WiFi. When I set it up for WPA the printer would not connect to network, than I switched security to WEP it works great. I have turned off the printed several times it connects back to the network in 30 sec. Another advice that I used was using cat5 network cable with my D-link to set up WiFi on printer via web browser. When connecting cat5 to printer and router the printer WiFi indicator turns off.

Actually, just as cool as it seems
Have 50 of these units running a mix of wireless and hardwired. All run without issue. The SetIP program from Samsung makes the default IP address easy to obtain and I can then configure using the web browser. I can have a replacement up and running in a matter of minutes. And for the cost of the printer, I have found nothing that can come close to matching. Yes you will get a starter toner cartridge, but I have found that using other printers from HP as well. Match up Toner cost and capacity against Hp equivalent and the Samsung will win.

ML2525W is a constant pain using wireless OS X 10.5/10.6 & Linux
If you have a MS network or if you use it with wired ethernet, this is a great printer. It prints well, cost per page is low, and I don't have the jams that I used to have with my older Dell laser printer. BUT and this is a BIG BUT, this printer does not play well with MacBooks using wireless or USB, and it even seems to get lost with Linux--using CUPS commands.
As others have said, it might stay connected for a day, a week, a month--but then it drops the wireless connection and getting the printer back up is a pain. I am sure at heart it is a driver issue, but other manufacturers seem to have resolved any legacy problems they have had adapting to the fact that there are many of us NON Microsoft users out there.
I will be selling this printer on eBay just as soon as my new Epson arrives--my Epson that will print wireless out of the box including AirPrint, GoogleCloud print, and so on. GET WITH THE 21st Century, SAMSUNG!

SAMSUNG ML-2525W wireless laser printe
Hi,
The speed of the printer is any other of the computer printer features that is important. The number of pages in line with minute that it is going to have the ability to print measures the speed. This pace will likely be different in line with whether or not or now not black and white pages or colour pages are going to be printed. Some printers can handle up to thirty black and white pages in a minute and eight colour pages in a minute, for instance.

Thanks for you help

Please reply to this email if possible.
I have used dozens of printers for the past 20 years and not once had an issue I could not resolve. That changed with this Samsung ml-2525w. I set it up and it works for a short while, then the wireless light turns off. I can not get it to turn back on except by power cycling the printer. Even then, it does not always work.
I have a wireless HP printer that works just fine on the same network. Only the Samsung has issues. And you can visually see the blue light turns off.
