They are cheaper at Buy.com (and Buy.com puts the IOGear model on "price mistake" periodically, where you can get it for something in the $40 range). I have the IOGear model and it works great with inkjets. I think most of these do not work with GDI printers, though. Not sure if the Samsung is a GDI printer.Originally posted by: olliebg
There are USB print servers available if you really need to network the printer. No experience with them and this printer, however. Newegg has a few.
Just checked Samsungs specs page and the printer is GDI. That means it may or may not work with the USB print servers... some GDI printers do work, some don't.Originally posted by: FPSguyNot sure if the Samsung is a GDI printer.

$169.23

+ 11.49 (CA 8.25% Sales Tax)
----------
$150.72 (pre rebate)
- $70 (OD printer rebate)
----------
$80.72 (AR)
Great Deal!
Obviously YMMV with OD accepting competitor Staples coupon (I used a high quality color B&M $30 off $150 print-out). I first talked to a cashier (who wittingly told me that I was using a Staples coupon at OD), but I told him to check with his manager on OD's policy on accepting competitor coupons (and I lucked out!).
Also went to Fry's and picked up 3 USB 2.0 type A to type B 10ft cables @ $0.99 each!
Thanks...small form factor should be nice for my college dorm room this fall!![]()

I just bought the Brother 1440. If I had seen this deal first, I might have bought the Samsung instead because this price is HOT.
However, the 1440 fits my needs better because:
1.) Its parallel port allows me to attach it to my wireless router and print server.
2.) Until the drum runs out on the 1440 after 20,000 pages, the toner is 50% cheaper than the 1710:
ML-1710
Toner and Drum (3000 pages): $79.88 at Amazon
HL-1440
Brother TN430 Laser Toner (6000 pages): $69.94 at Amazon
3) Memory expandibility via inexpensive SIMMs
