Speed is another place where the Samsung CLP-315W may seem a tad slower, with a print speed of up to 4 pages per minute for color prints, compared to speeds of up to 8 pages per minute in the HP CP1518ni. Part of the reason could be that the HP CP1518ni comes with 98 MB of memory, compared to only 32 MB in the Samsung CLP 315W.
