Author's Review
Read several reviews on this printer. Printer had mixed reviews, depending on use. Purchased on 12/30/07, and downloaded the updated drivers, released 11/14/07, from Samsung. Using with a MacBook Pro, OS 10.4.11 through the USB port on an Airport Express base station. Did not connect the printer direct to the computer, from the start it was run through the Airport. So far only problem was the printer needed restarted after software setup on the computer.
Setup was quick and easy, just a few pieces of tape to remove and slide the toner in. Only frustration was that a store bought USB cable was going to cost 1/3 of the price for the machine
Win XP SP2 works direct with the printer. Will have to try the plugin for XP and see how XP handles the printer through the Airport Express
Printing is smooth and fast, once the printer warms up and cranks out the first page the rest come quickly. For only having 8megs of ram it is quite speedy. Primarily purchased to print text, will have to find out how the 1200x600 resolution works for graphics. The no-jam paper feed system has potential. Won't be able to judge it until I run a couple of more reams through the printer.
Overall a cheap solid printing machine. The form factor is great, since the plugs are on the side instead of the back, you can put thins printer in a corner or up against a wall. As long as it holds up and Samsung keeps the drivers current, promises to be a worthwhile printer.
