Duration of ownership: 2 Days
Strengths: Fast Printing, Good Quality Output, Small Size
Weaknesses:N/A
Overall Evaluation: I do a lot of B/W printing for my home business and using my inkjet printer was expensive. Looked for an inexpensive laser printer to decrease my printing costs. This printer cost $50 (after rebate) and includes a standard toner cartridge (estimated 1800 pages). Replacement toner cartridge is about $80 (est 3600 pages). Between the low initial cost and the huge amount of pages that a toner cartridge lasts for, this printer is a low-cost leader. Unlike, inkjet printers where the initial cost is low, but you pay through the nose for ink refills, this printer has a low initial cost and replacement toner cartridges are a value when you consider that each page only costs 2 cents to print. - I don't have any complaints. The paper tray is fine (others have griped out cheap quality), similar quality to inkjet printer quality. This printer makes no more noise than any other laser printers. The print speed is fairly impressive for such a small device. - Highly recommend for a small office or home business that requires a moderate amount of printing.

Duration of ownership: 1
Strengths: Prints fast and the print quality is very good, which is why you buy a printer.
Weaknesses:Sounds like a vaccum cleaner when it starts up. Cheap paper trays, in and out. Instructions in every language but english, but setup is simple without the need to learn german or italian.
Overall Evaluation: Bottom line is that this printer prints nice text and is fast. The construction seems good but the paper trays are very flimsy and cheap looking. If it holds up and you buy on sale then this feels like a good deal($50-$70). It is loud when it starts to print and as I've seen on other reviews the lights do dim when I plug it in. Wonder if this will effect my electric bill. : ) The setup instruction section headers were in english and the details were in 10 different languages, just not english. However setup is simple without the instructions.

Strengths: Price, quality of print is good
Weaknesses:Cheap plastic feel
Overall Evaluation: I have long been impressed by the value for money of Samsung products. This printer is no exception. In a relatively small footprint delivers great print quality at a reasonable speed for the home office. Good thing it comes with a Vista driver CD.The cabinet feels a bit cheapo though, but the negative impression fades when you get used to it.

Duration of ownership: 20 Days
Strengths: Fast and true to the advertised ppm. Compact. Simple and easy to use. Also easy to set up on a network. Relatively cheap.
Weaknesses:Eats a lot of power (lamp near the printer flickers when it's in use). On/Off button hard to reach (there's only the main power switch behind the printer). Somewhat noisy, especially during warm up.
Overall Evaluation: I've been looking for a cheap laser printer for college use and decided to go with this after looking at several black and white laser printer reviews online and in magazines. Suffice to say, I'm very pleased with this printer thus far. It lasts a whole lot longer than the inkjet printer I upgraded from (my inkjet cartridge lasted only 40 pages or so). I'm still running good on the starter cartridge that comes with the printer and I've printed about 4 or 5 Powerpoint lectures worth of material (each lecture has about 30-40 pages). Also, I think some people are concerned about paper curling with these types of printers. There is some slight curling, but it goes back to straight after a few seconds so it's no big deal. Regarding the weaknesses: Yeah there are some, but none of those are significant enough to be annoying. If you're looking for a cheap good laser printer for college or school use, this is great.
