    And you missed the running costs because?, tiny expensive toner package with a software driver that (falsley) claims you need to buy a new toner waste bin every other week? It works and its small, but expect to pay almost ink cost of use

    The good: works, small, slow but quiet

    The bad: If I wanted to pay 28c a page I would have bought ink

    One excellent personal colour laser printing,Vibrant, professional colour,I think.

    I'll advise our company:Silver Center Pty Ltd(www.aussie-battery.com) to purchase one to have a try.

    This printer prints better than any printer I have ever had. It's my first laser printer. I am very satisfied.

    It hogs power, smells sort of after printing, and is not exactly photo quality, but it is FAST, the quality is totally fine, and the toner lasts FOREVER compared to ink jets.

    With ink jets I have always gotten clogs and mis-prints, and after not using it for a while it would clog and I'd always have to clean it. I have had 3 ink-jet printers and this one outperforms them all.

    When I want to print, it just prints and I'm like, holy @#$ it actually printed without a problem, because of my experience with inkjets (Lexmark, Epson, HP).

    The good: Fast. Prints a lot on each cartridge. Relatively low-cost cartridge compared to high end color lasers.

    The bad: Smells when prints (similar to all lasers?). Hogs power (flickers lights, again, similar to all lasers maybe). Not photo quality, but that's not its purpose.

    I have had nearly constant trouble with it jamming, printing unevenly (half the page is barely there or not at all) and other random issues. It seems like every 3rd or 4th time I use it, something messes up.

    It all went very well for about 5 weeks. Then it wouldn't print black down one side of the page. Got it repaired and 4 days later same problem. Got it repaired again and 2 days later same problem. Samsung offered a replacement, said it would take 6-8 days. 22 days and about 30 phone calls later...still no printer. Buy an other brand!

    The good: Worked well for about 5 weeks.

    The bad: Service and backup is just as abysmal as the print quality.

    Terrible printer Not Happy -- 16/08/09

    This thing has been constant trouble. Smells. Hogs power. Jams every time and eats multiple pages of paper with each jam. Constantly getting "printer not responding" messages and the trouble shooting guide is of no help. I'm ready to throw this printer out.

    streaked colour Anonymous -- 04/12/09

    printer seems good does smell more than other lasers when prints. Colour is good but does not seem to fuse ont he paper properly or the drum is not clearing as it leaves shadow prints especially with red...otherwise printer is good
