If you''re tired of beige or gray cheap-looking plastic printers, you''ll love this shiny new offering from Samsung.

Very low profile and paper comes out the front so you can stack items on top of it during use.

Samsung doesn''t offer a higher capacity toner cartridge but you can get one from checksnet that prints more pages and can be used for making checks.

Excellent print quality & quietest printer I''ve ever owned.

Buy Samsung Monochrome Laser Printer (ML-1630) Now

This is my second Samsung (my previous model was a 1200 series which lasted 8 years and was eventually donated to our local school)

The ML-1630 is just stunning for a monochrome laser printer under $200. The look is unique, but as the title says, the quality is what you would expect from a home laser printer.

The characters are crisp and the graphics are perfect (2 settings, standard and above). It is very quiet, plug-and-play, can be shared without any issue on a local windows network. You get one year warranty which can be extended by another 3 months once you register your product online.

The only issue we got was with the paper. We were using recycled paper (which is quite thin) and sometimes the paper would be a little wrinkled. By switching to normal paper (Stapples), the problem went away.

I bought this printer as a supplement to my HP OfficeJet 5610 All-in-One. The Samsung ML-1630 laser is a very quiet monochrome laser printer. Print quality is excellent for text. Also the price per page for text is very reasonable. Printer is very quiet and prints text pages quickly.

Only mediocre for printing graphic images (such as coins) that are colored. The change to gray-scale comes out a little dark.

Pros: Very small foot-print, very good looking printer, low cost per page.

Cons: Color graphics come out dark when converted to gray-scale.

Want Samsung Monochrome Laser Printer (ML-1630) Discount?

I bought this printer as a replacement for a 5 year old Brother printer. Although I had read reviews saying it did not work well wirelessly, I decided to give it a try based on otherwise good reviews.

At first all went well. As a printer it is excellent. Great print quality, and quiet.

However, it does not work well with Airport ever since I upgraded my OS to 10.5. It will do one print job, then freeze. I have to reset Airport for each and every print job. This is a real pain when I am working wirelessly, which is most of the time.

It still works fine if plugged directly into my MacBook Pro via USB.

Wireless is a futile effort. I''ve read numerous blogs on the problem, and solutions are temporary at best.

If you plan to use this printer plugged directly into your computer, then it is a good buy. If you plan to use wireless with a PC, I have heard that works but can''t confirm. But don''t buy if you plan to use wirelessly with a Mac.

One other minor inconvenience: the paper tray is rather small, and holds about 50 sheets. If you print lots of large jobs, I''d consider another printer.

I was looking for a laser printer for most of my documents, which don''t need any color printing. I was also looking for something that looked halfway decent on my desk, and I found it with the Samsung ML-1630.

It''s a quick 5-minute setup, with the only thing you really have to do to the printer is slip in the printer cartridge. Then you turn it on, connect it to your computer, and install the software from the CD.

I installed it on a Vista laptop, everything worked great, then shared that printer on my home network. I wirelessly connected to that shared printer from a remote Windows7 laptop, and it installed the printer drivers and printed easily. I was actually quite surprised it all worked, to be honest.

The printer is quiet and prints documents perfectly. As other commenters mention, it doesn''t hold a ream of paper, but for my home office, it''s more than I print in a week. It looks fantastic, too.

The only thing missing is built-in wireless, but I''ll make do.
