"Maybe okay for plain paper" on by cb1030
Pros: Relatively inexpensive
Cons: Can't print on glossy or matte finish laser brochure papers
Summary: It seems to have a lot of potential at a great price. It includes a built-in autoduplexer which is a $300-$400 add on for similar color lasers (as much as the printers themselves in some cases). We wanted to print on brochure papers, but the printer couldn't feed some of them and when it did, the pictures printed with missing whole sections, looking almost like a partially removed sticker.

"Very good printer for personal use (couldn't ask for better)." on by xypher
Pros: The printer provides good colour quality, acceptable black quality, and a built-in duplexer.
Cons: Just the black text quality. It was fuzzy around the edges wth a somewhat splattered look to it.
Summary: Over all, this printer is very very good for its price, and for any home user such as myself. It is far better than any inkjet for sharpness (even though i have seen better). I could have asked for a better printer for my purposes, and especially for this price. Exactly what I was after.

"Do your homework before you think about buying this printer" on by glassvial
Pros: Network, good mono text output
Cons: Extremely poor color text and photo output
Summary: I'm glad I didn't buy this printer. I had a local store employee hook this baby up to a laptop and printed off some websites and photos. The photo quality is awful, extremely grainy and jagged on one, a second printed photo had obvious blotches, "lines" and grain. No, this is not the fault of a worn-out floor model, these were some of the first prints fired off this unit (we just took the tape off some of the internals). The color text quality from the printed website looks worse than a bad inkjet. Poor show, Samsung! Do yourself a favor if you're thinking of buying this, look at some photo/color outputs first-hand, and you'll see what I mean. Maybe they'll get it right next time.

"Great workgroup printer, Reasonably fast network color without breaking the bank." on by pcrx_greg
Pros: Fairly inexpensive toner cartridges and automatic duplexing at no extra charge.
Cons: Not as fast for color as black and white, but sufficient for most small offices.
