Which Samsung Xpress SL-M2825 driver should I choose?
HP sorts the files into four categories. The Basic driver is driver-only software for printing; it comes as a 40.6 MB installer or a 21.1 MB no-installer version that needs manual installation. The Universal Print Driver (38.5 MB) is a generic driver that suits IT-managed setups and supports Windows 11. Utilities handle tasks like network IP setup, wireless setup, monitoring and diagnostics. Skip the 7.4 MB firmware file unless you are fixing a specific problem, since HP lists no fixes for it.
The Basic driver supports Windows 10 and Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Windows 11 users should pick the Universal Print Driver instead. Set IP configures a network printer by its MAC address, and Easy Wireless Setup configures wireless network settings.

Samsung Xpress SL-M2825 driver troubleshooting
Printer shows offline or jobs stay stuck in the queue
Restart the printer and your PC, then check the cable or network link. If jobs still stall, run Samsung Printer Diagnostics 1.0.4.29, which targets offline printers and stuck jobs.
Printouts look faint, streaky or blank
Confirm the supplies are installed correctly and not empty. Remove any packing material, then reprint. Replace the supply if the output stays poor.
Easy Printer Manager misbehaves on Windows 10
Install Samsung Easy Printer Manager 2.00.01.36. HP states this version fixed a Windows 10 RS4 compatibility issue. Download it, run the installer, then reopen the program.
