I ordered that Samsung laser printer from newegg, the one thats on sale for $50 AR. I got it today and quickly installed it. I was impressed with everything except for one thing. The top of the printer gets extremely hot. I had it on for about 10 minutes and it was scorching hot. Is this normal?

I'm guessing you've never burnt your hand on a fuser trying to clear a jam.

You mean the part with the huge yellow sticker that says "CAUTION: HOT. DO NOT TOUCH"? :p No, I usually steer around that part.

It's hard to avoid when there is a piece of paper crumpled up in there that you need to get out. :p

When your lawn mower clogs up do you stick your hand in there as the blade is still turning? ;)
