Looking for Answers about samsung Black & White Laser Printer?

You can either download the manual at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/black-and-white-laser-printers/ML-1865W/XAA .
Alternatively access the manual from your Windows start menu. Click Start-All Programs- Samsung Printers- Samsung ML-1865W Series-View Users Guide.

On my Samsung ML1865/XAA Series printer, I printed a web document of text and graphics with the default setting (pretty much) for comparison, but with the 'toner save' selection on; got a decent print; but light.

Again, I went to the "File, Print" to print the web document, but this time selected the "preferences" button at the mid-right of the screen.

On the the subsequent "Printing Preferences" screen, the "Basic" tab is the default, and if "Best" quality versus "Normal" is selected the printed page will be darker and of better quality.

However, if you want even darker printed pages, select the "Graphics" tab at the top. On this page be sure to check the "Darken Text" and "All text Black" boxes on the "Font/Text" section at the top; that "Toner Save" is "Off" and that "Darkness" is selected as "Dark" rather than "Normal" or "Light". The printed page -- for me at least -- was visibly darker, both text & graphics. I suspect you adjust these to your personal preferences or as appropriate for various types of documents.

You can make the same changes if you have your Samsung ML1865W Series icon installed on the Windows taskbar, by right-clicking, then selecting "Driver Settings". Don't know why this opens the "Printing Preferences" page while the "Printer Setting" selection opens a "Printer Setting Utility" page, but it does. (Haven't tried adjusting the Preferences setting from here and they did not change when I had printed the aforementioned pages, but then once printed, the preferences went to the defaults I had before, so my guess is that the graphics changes have to be made with every print, but I don't know as yet, as I've only had this printer two days.

Anyway hope this works as well for your Samsung series printer. Enjoy! (Mine is totally awesome, even if the toner replacement will cost as much as the printer itself!!!)

Your problem is when you use the wireless mode of the printer? Are you using also a Wireless Mouse? If YES, then the signal of the mouse & the printer are in the same frequency. You have 2 options, change the printer or change the wireless mouse. I have the same problem and with the new mouse the problem was fixed, but make sure the signal of the mouse are in 2.4ghz.

Anonymous - your are experiencing an IP address reassignment on your printer. Router will occasionally reassign IP addresses (assuming you are using DHCP - Dynamic IP addressing). When this occurs, your PCs will continue to look for the printer at the last know IP address and since it has changed will not be able to communicate with it.

To fix this situation when it occurs, you must change the IP address for the printer on your PC (display printers, select the Samsung 1865W and right click the mouse, select printer properties - change the IP address to the new address) and you are back in business.

If you don't know the new IP address, log on to your router and display the IP assignments. The Samsung list listed as a device that starts with the letters "SEC" - my device is listed as SEC0015998D7313 - not sure if your will be exactly the same or close.

I hope this helps.

When you bought the printer, you should have received a CD with it. Insert the CD and click "Setup Wireless" and it will tell you what do.

If your home network setup is like most, you are very likely using dynamic IP address assignment by your router. Your router will occasional reassign the IP addresses in certain events like a power failure or if the router is unplugged.

All you need to do is instruct your PC where the printer is located (IP address) by changing the printer properties. To find out what the IP address assigned to the printer you can look at the assignment status on your router - log on to your router. Then change the IP address of the printer to match the new assigned address. (i.e., old address may be something like 192.168.1.105 and it is now 192.168.1.102 - go to printer properties and change the IP address to the new address.

This works in both Linux and Windows.

Yes you can.
Just download the PrinterShare app.

You can either: i. copy the files from the CD on a PC with a CD drive onto a smart-card or flash drive and then plug the card/drive into the other PC and install from there. ii. Map a CD drive on your network on to your CD-less computer and install over the network or iii. Go to http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/black-and-white-laser-printers/ML-1865W/XAA and download the file.

Ensure you have the laterst firmware, make sure your firewall is configured properly and download the latest software.
