This printer has been for $99 at several different stores, including Frys, Office Depot, and BB. Seems like a good deal for a laser printer, but nothing to get all excited about.

D.

And unless there's a new OD coupon (could be) that deal's dead (was last week). Some time around the end of the week they changed their setup so the Samsung printer wouldn't work with the available coupons.

The $20 off OD coupon link works fine with this product.

coupon link works, but dang thing is out of stock for me.

 

[osiris3mc]

Yeah, OD has been out, hence why I posted the deal from BB. This printer is tough to find in stock, so I think get it for a hundred while you still can.

So where is the cheapest place to get toner?

this thing can't print post script right?

it's a GDI interface using SPL (Samsung Printer Language), which in short means it works best when connected directly to a PC equipped with decent drivers (read, on an M$ OS). You can then send it whatever you want and the drivers should take care of it.

I'd be wary if using on:
- a MAC (word is drivers suck and are slow)
- linux (although there are drivers, they are limited functionality, there are beteer printers for linux use)
- DOS (you're basically out of luck)
- print server (most print server say that they don't support all GDI printers, so make sure you can return the print server if it doesn't work with this printer).

how messy is it to refill? can you destroy the printer if you don;t refill the cartridge properly? My experience with refilling my lexmark inkjet was that the refilled cartridge wouldn't print, then started leaking/smearing on the paper, so I;d hate to have the same thing happen to my laser.

Of course at the rate I'm printing, It'll probably be a year or two before I need to worry about it.

Someone said in previous thread that Samsung makes some of the easiest to refill cartridges. They also said each cartridge could be reused in this manner around 3 or 4 times before the drum fails.
