Great wireless laser printer: small quiet and great quality prints

I bought this printer a few weeks back. So my review can only attest to the initial quality and operation of the printer. When shopping for a printer I wanted a small wireless (i.e. WiFi enabled) laser printer that I could use on my home wireless network. This printer fits the bill.



Once I received the printer setup was incredibly easy. You just hook the USB cable to your computer follow the software prompts and then the printer is suddenly connected to the WiFi network. That is the last time I used the cable. Now when I hit print on my laptop it prints wirelessly.



I also like that the printer is relatively quick (24 ppm) and prints clean crisp laser prints quickly. For $99 this is great deal and I'm pleased with the purchase.



I'd recommend buying this laser printer over the all-in-one units. While those all encompassing units may be tempting I think you end up with a better deal by buying this Samsung printer and then buying a high-quality scanner as a separate item. For instance I bought a separate Fujitsu Scansnap scanner (also a very compact item). It scans so much better than the scanner I have on the all-in-one that I bought a couple years ago.More detail ...

Great printer great price terrible manual

Our TV is a Samsung so we thought we'd try out this printer b/c of the price. Print quality is pretty good setup is quite easy and it's very quiet. It's also a networkable printer (Ethernet and WiFi) so it was a no-brainer on which one to get.



The only "gripe" I have w/ this printer is the wireless setup--it is not very easy to do and the manual wasn't as detailed as it should have been. Basically the printer uses 802.11b/g to connect to your wireless base station.



The easiest way to setup the printer that I've found is to do the following...



Install the software (Mac or Windows)



Change the IP address to a static one on your network that is compatible w/ your router (ex. If your router is 192.168.1.1 then make the printer 192.168.1.2).



Set the gateway to point to the router(ex. 192.168.1.1).



Restart the printer and you're in business.



This was NOT how it was explained in the manual... it ended up taking longer following the instructions in the box than it did to just do it myself. I'm no genius but you can tell that the people who wrote the manual were not the people who were using it or had done it so many times that they forgot a few steps.



Excellent printer just tread lightly when setting up the network/wifi connection.More detail ...
