Laser Printer for $40! Price Blowout!

So shipping is around $18? That cools the deal off quite a bit, I too have seen 2010 for $50 AR, delivered, and occasionally 2010 for $40 AR, delivered, which is what i paid from ??? (think it was 'egg).

Not a bad printer, for typical B&W uses it's not so significant that it has lower spec than 2010 but paying MORE for it than 2010 seems a bit backwards. Shipping just kills the deal, and is overinflated as it does not cost $18 to ship coast to coast for anyone with moderate volume account fedex/ups.

IMO, a better deal would be ML-1710 or 1740, as they had enclosed paper tray and toner cart with refill cap.
 
How does samsung 2010 compare to Lexmark E238 which can be bought for $64 AR at Staples?

I'd be very weary of Lexmark printers because they've been putting microchips in the carts to prevent refill, suing companys that make aftermarket microchips, and even trying to wrangle a steady stream of carts for THEM to refill for you (at higher cost of course) by jacking up th4e price on refills without a EULA that demands return to them of your old cart.

In other words, the days of affordable laser printers might be nearly over, there's no point in buying a low end lexmark because by the time you've bought 3 cartridges for it, you'd already spend as much as on their more expensive printers (since the more expensive printers cost more initially but get thousands more pages per cart so you buy fewer carts).

If you're the type to always buy a whole new replacement cart then I guess it doesn't matter so much (this vs lexmark) but again maybe a bigger laser printer is same TCO in the long run.
