Samsung Xpress M2885FW Laser Printer

This device is a Samsung Xpress series multifunctional laser printer. While the brand carries the Samsung name, it is part of a significant shift in the printing industry landscape. Originally developed by the South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics, the entire printing business division was acquired by HP Inc. in 2017.

Following this acquisition, Samsung-branded printers are produced, supported, and managed by HP Inc. While the product was originally engineered in South Korea, manufacturing for these units typically occurs across various global facilities, primarily in China, Vietnam, and Thailand. HP continues to use the Samsung brand name for specific printer lines through licensing agreements following the billion-dollar divestiture.
