Good printer at a good price,

I own this printer and bought one for my kid's school. It offers everything we need for home use - printing kid's homework assignments, making copies, scanning in pictures. Very reliable, never had any problems with it. Easy to setup. Very happy with it. The only thing that may be improved is the noise level when in idle mode.
All in all, very good printer for the money. Highly recommend it.

Printer: Good Support: Bad - Massive problems with Mac,

have this machine since 2 years and it worked fine in the beginning. The noise is quite loud but I can live with that.
Whats really disappointing is the support of the Samsung Company. I used Mac OS X 10.4 and everything was fine. Upgraded to Leopard 10.5 and I had to wait 3 months (!) for them to update their drivers.
It still can get worse: Since 10.5.3 (same goes for 10.5.4 AND 10.5.5) I can't print anymore. Although the companys homepage still claims 10.5 is enterly supported (which is NOT TRUE, only 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 are supported). I called them and they were pretty uninformed about all this. They didn't know about any issues with Mac OS and they didn't know anything about driver-compatibility. I still don't have a responce to a mail, sent 1 month ago, asking if the latest driver update (09/11/2008) includes any of the needed changes (fact is: it still doesn't work).
So now I've been waiting for drivers that work another 5 months (!!!). And I'm...Read more

I own and use 2 of these printers and print 4-5,000 copies a month (which is in excess of their monthly design volume.) We use these as our printers, copiers and Fax and they work flawlessly. The Scan function is extremely handy to scan to a .PDF file and send as an email attachment & store electronically so we can get rid of paper.
Main advantage is the ease of refilling the cartridges. Remove 2 screws and pull out a 3/4" plug, pour in an $8.00 bottle of toner. Put plug & screws back in and you're good for another 3000 copies. You can usually refill these toner carts at least twice. They apparently store the waste toner in the interior of the drum and when it fills up it spills and causes smudges and smears on the copies. Havn't figured out how to empty that waste bin yet. But with aftermarket Carts at only $20 each I just throw in a new cart. (Let's see that's $20 for the cart + 2 X $8.00 for the refill toner or a total of $36.00 for 9,000 copies - That's .4 cents...Read more
