I have been looking for a laser printer for my home office for while, but wasn''t ready to spend $450+. This printer was on sale at a major office supply chain for under $200 so I thought, why not? There is a plastic-y smell when printing, as mentioned by another reviewer, but I was assured by a very helpful customer service rep. at Samsung that it would go away. I had no trouble setting up the software for my Mac. I''m a graphic designer and was concerned about print quality the color seems to be quite accurate, though the detail/solid color coverage does look a bit "grainy". Warm-up and printing speed are quick. There is an 1-year ON SITE warranty. For the price I paid I feel like it''s a good, maybe great, value.

This printer is working fine as advertised. The network setup was easy after my firewall software was told that printer was to be trusted! An interesting plus is the one year ON SITE warranty.

Not sure what happened to Jazzy from Boise, but...here is my story. I bought this printer for $17*.** from Office*****, got the printer home, unpackaged it, put in toner, plugged in network cable, printed a demo/test page by holding in the "online" button and then releasing it, installed the network setup cd, software autoplayed, software saw my printer immmediately, software finished, printer installed perfectly. IP address was automated based on my network and router settings. Simple. Extremely fast, brilliant colors, detailed photos somewhat grainy, but remember, this is not a photo printer...so the resolution is lacking in that area just a little. Over all for the price...great printer, just FYI, I would suggest either refilling your own toner cartridges or buying refurbished...otherwise they are just under $13* each new at OD.

I''ve only had this printer for a few days and I agree that the documentation on this printer is poor. However all that is required to set this printer up on a wired LAN is to install the printer driver from the installation CD on each PC on your network. There is no need to use the included network utilities unless you want to change the IP settings on the printer, itself. Default is DHCP, and my printer was assigned an IP address by my router with no issues.

Choose ''typical network set-up'' (second choice) and your printer will be found. Check the box and drivers will be installed and you are done.

The printer does emit a heated plastic smell upon power-up, but it is very quiet at idle and the smell has mitigated significantly over the last two days.

I have owned this printer for about a year. We mainly use printers for black ink output and occasionally for color. We decided on a laser printer since we were going through deskjet cartridges like they were water.

The problem with this printer is it consumes cyan (yellow) ink along with the black ink for black & white only copies. It also seems to consume the blue and red ink, but at a slower rate.

At the end of year, we went through 2 black cartridges (as expected), a yellow cartridge and about 80% of the blue and red cartridges.

What made this situation worse was that the printer would not allow me to print using only the black cartridge. Once the yellow ran out, I couldn''t print anymore, in spite of having plenty of black ink left.

After pricing the colored cartridges, it was evident that I no longer wanted a color laser printer, as the three color cartridges totaled over $400 with tax. I ended buying a Brother multi-function unit (print, copy, fax, scan) for about half the price of the Samsung cartridges.

It is clear to me that Samsung designed these elements into this printer. In the process, they lost a customer, as I will never trust Samsung products again.
