 It's a very good printer December 1, 2008
Chris A. Thorne (San Jose, CA)
I've had the printer for two weeks now. I am driving it with a MacPro desktop machine. Everything is great. Scan requires you hook it up USB to your machine. Everyone, HP included, works that way well. I'm a happy camper, printing in color, scanning to .pdf. Color is cmyk and rates fine with my Techtronics at work. Good box folks.
 Don't buy this for use on a Macintosh November 18, 2008

Terrible product support from Samsung for Macintoshes. Won't do network scanning on the Mac. Support spokesmodel tried to blame the Mac and punt within the first 3 minutes. Won't print when directly connected to a Mac. This printer is a nightmare.
It's "okay" but you can't beat the price November 15, 2008

I got this for $299 at another retailer who was offering an instant rebate. The price is awesome and the printer looks great compared to those ugly beige plastic ones.
The prints and scans are only "okay." I had an HP color laser MFP before - that cost about $450 and the prints we super crispy and the color was right on. This Samsung produces very nice crispy black prints, but the color prints look like they are blurry. Even the black text on a color print gets converted somehow so it prints out blurry, as if it used all 4 toners for just black text and the toner was mis-aligned by a couple microns. So the prints could be better. The scans are the same way, it's great to have such easy scanning to a network or USB key, but the scans are a little blurry and the color conversion is not as spot-on as it could be.
Color prints take quite a while compared to other color lasers, but the product description makes you aware of that. It's just when you are actually sitting there waiting for the print, it's noticeable.
Overall, It's a good printer. If it was $400, I would give it a 2.5 star review. But It was only $300 compared to the normal $500+, it gets a 3.5 star. I guess to sum it up I would say "It will do" until I get richer.
Small, Fast, no noise ... Great All-in-one Printer September 30, 2008

It is less than a week that I started to use with this printer at home. It is one of my best printers ever. The color print quality is not as good as our Xerox DC-242 workstation in the office, but if you compare this $300 printer to that $10,000 huge printer, you can see that this little printer is fantastic. The monochrome output is as excellent as a professional laser printer and fast enough for a home or a small business printer.
The network port is very helpful to print and scan wirelessly. Also there is a way to scan to emails.
The only think that I do not like is the second paper tray which is very small and has no slider to fit envelopes, so I have to replace envelopes in the main tray when I need to print on an envelope.
Good, but needs improvement. July 25, 2008

I purchased this item from another retailer at $299.99, the price is great for a color laser multi function printer with a very different and unique design.
The size of this machine is amazingly small and the design, as I have previously mentioned is fantastic, very appealing and the quality of its construction is very solid.
What I do not like about this multifunction is the following:
1. It lacks wireless connectivity.
2. It lacks bluetooth connectivity.
3. It lacks an independent tray for envelopes.
4. It lacks auto duplex printing and scanning.
5. It lacks a better scanner, scanner drivers and software.
The most annoying feature, is the lack of an independent envelope feeder or tray, because you literally have to remove the entire stack of paper, in order to be able to adjust the tray to be able to insert an envelope.
This is extremely frustrating for me, because for every letter that I print, I must also print and envelope, which translates to the following scenario:
Get up, remove the tray, remove the paper, adjust the tray, insert the envelope (which often gets stuck), then adjust the tray, put the paper back in, insert the tray and repeat the entire process all over again for each letter and envelope that I have to print.
I am very surprised that Samsumg came out with such a high quality product, with an amazing design, but did not add wireless and bluetooth capabilities. Most of the HP's have either one of these features built in and a lot of them actually have both.
Despite having an Auto Document Feeder (ADF), it lacks duplex printing and duplex scanning, and I would have been happy if it at least it had duplex printing. If you need one with both of these features, get the Canon MP830, which has superior scanning capabilities than even the newer Canon MP850, which uses ICS, as oppossed to the MP830's CCD.
Copying was accurate and fast, both in black and white and color, as well as fast faxing capabilities.
Scanning, on the other hand was poor, very poor. Scans were pale, and I could never get 100% sized scans from the originals, no matter how many adjustments I made. They always seem to be smaller, especially when compared to other scans of the same documents made by a Canon MP830.
The low quality of the scan, is because, Samsung, and other manufacturers, including Canon, are now using cheap ICS (Image Contact Sensor) technology, which is much more cost efficient, as opposed to the Charge Coupled Device (CCD), technology, which produces extremely high quality, very accurate, crisp and detailed scans.
The difference between these two technologies is such, that a scan made by the Canon MP830 saved at a low PDF quality resolution, is better than one made by the Samsung saved at a Maximum Quality PDF resolution, yes it is that bad, but acceptable to most people.
Printing, on the other hand was extremely good, very crisp and sharp text, with extremely good color prints. This is an extremely affordable and very good color printer.
All in all, it is a good machine if you are not too demanding or simply do not know enough about this product and the lack of some very important features that are missing, like the ability to be able to print an envelope without having to waste so much time, by simply having added an independent tray for it.
I unfortunately had to return mine, primarily because I need one that can at least provide me with an envelope tray without having to remove the paper, duplex copying, printing and scanning, with good high quality scans.
So, I ended up with my old Canon MP830 again, wich is also missing wireless and bluetooth capabilities and is not as small, light and nice looking as the Samsung, but far faster, more functional, with amazing quality scans.
