For a printer of this class, it does not have a distinctive look. There are several controls, marked with an icon, to the left of the main paper tray. They include the Power button, Wi-Fi button (for use in setup, with indicator lights lit when you connect wirelessly), cancel work buttons, and paper indicator buttons. The latter will blink when you are out of paper, or if paper is the wrong size. After you load the tray, pressing the button will restart the printout.

paper handling is basically the same as we see in many other budget mono laser printers, including Samsung Xpress M2825DW $ 110.00 on Amazon and Dell E310dw Printer $ 89.99 on Dell, Redaction Award two models and Canon imageCLASS LBP6230dw $ 69, 99 on Amazon.

in terms of connection LBP151dw offers Ethernet, USB, and 802.11b / g / n Wi-Fi connectivity. This LBP151dw supports printing with Canon Print Business and Mopria Print Application services, as well as Google Cloud Print. Unlike the two Samsung M2825DWand Dell E310dw, the LBP151dw does not have Wi-Fi Direct, which lets you print through a peer-to-peer direct connection with a compatible mobile device. I tested the printer through an Ethernet connection. Printer drivers equipped (UFR II) host-based driver Canon, as well as PCL6.
Print speed
The LBP151dw proved to be a speedster in our testing, printing our business suite applications (as time with hardware and software QualityLogic) at 10.1 pages per minute (ppm) in duplex default mode (two sides), a good time especially considering rated speed of 16ppm. Note that the rated speed is based on text printing only, while our suite of tests includes text documents, drawing documents, and documents with mixed content. In ad-hoc testing in simplex (one-sided) printing mode, for those rated at 28ppm, it was tested at 13.2ppm faster. The speed is similar to that of the Canon LBP6230dw, which was tested at 10.8ppm in duplex and 13.2ppm in simplex. The Samsung M2825DW, which turned out to be in a speed of 9.9ppm in its simplex standard mode, and the Dell E310dw, which tested at 9.2ppm, was also in simplex, lagging behind LBP151dw
Output quality
Overall average output quality for mono laser, with text slightly above par, graphics slightly below par, and average photo. The text should be good enough for any business use except those requiring tinyfonts.

Most of the graphics look fine, although one illustration is meant to show the gradient of the tone indicating very little change between different zones. The LBP151dw also performs poorly in printing very thin colored lines. photo quality is fine for printing images from web pages and the like. The quality varies from print to print.
the operating costs for LBP151dw, based on Canon price and the price for toner, are 3.5 cents (US) per page. It is slightly higher than the Dell E310dw (3.3 cents) and Samsung M2825DW (3.1 cents), though lower than Canon LBP6230dw (4.1 cents).

It lacks Direct Wi-Fi connectivity as found on Samsung M2825DW and Dell E310dw, but via USB connect, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi standards. The LBP151dw type is easily fast from one of these models, capable of printing two-sided documents in a duplex-standard mode that requires the user to flip each document to print the second-side. speed, combined with text quality above average, is enough to get it as one of the best small office or personal office print options.
