Stealth Bomber of B&W laser printers [Posted on 2008-02-05]
If you're tired of beige or gray cheap-looking plastic printers, you'll love this shiny new offering from Samsung.

Very low profile and paper comes out the front so you can stack items on top of it during use.

Samsung doesn't offer a higher capacity toner cartridge but you can get one from checksnet that prints more pages and can be used for making checks.

Excellent print quality & quietest printer I've ever owned.

Form and Function...Finally! [Posted on 2008-02-13]
Much more stunning in person, on your desk, than in the pictures. The finish is beautiful and really adds to your desk as opposed to detracting from it like most white box printers do. One of the things that you don't get to experience until you see it in person is the nifty blue LED lights that appear in a small square on the front of the machine when you turn it on, or tell it to print. Very cool, but not distracting or tacky. Another thing that really makes this a great deal is the print speed (much faster than my old printer) and quality. Finally, and also hard to explain online is how quiet it is. It's not silent, but it does keep the noise to a minimum. Over all this is a great printer wrapped in a slick and very attractive shell. Now that my printer finally is as well dressed as my laptop (HP Pavilion) my office desk is ready for it's black tie party.

Network users beware [Posted on 2008-03-08]
I've tried getting this thing to work on my Airport extreme wireless basestation to no avail. Even connecting it to my Mac Mini and sharing it across the network doesn't work. I've updated drivers, repaired disk permissions, and spent hours going through CUPS, but nothing works.

If you plan on having this plugged into your computer, then go for it. More advanced users should avoid this product like the plague.

Unique look which does not compromise quality [Posted on 2008-04-19]
This is my second Samsung (my previous model was a 1200 series which lasted 8 years and was eventually donated to our local school)

The ML-1630 is just stunning for a monochrome laser printer under $200. The look is unique, but as the title says, the quality is what you would expect from a home laser printer.

The characters are crisp and the graphics are perfect (2 settings, standard and above). It is very quiet, plug-and-play, can be shared without any issue on a local windows network. You get one year warranty which can be extended by another 3 months once you register your product online.

The only issue we got was with the paper. We were using recycled paper (which is quite thin) and sometimes the paper would be a little wrinkled. By switching to normal paper (Stapples), the problem went away.

Quiet fast monochrome laser printer - Samsung ML-1630 [Posted on 2008-04-21]
I bought this printer as a supplement to my HP OfficeJet 5610 All-in-One. The Samsung ML-1630 laser is a very quiet monochrome laser printer. Print quality is excellent for text. Also the price per page for text is very reasonable. Printer is very quiet and prints text pages quickly.

Only mediocre for printing graphic images (such as coins) that are colored. The change to gray-scale comes out a little dark.

Pros: Very small foot-print, very good looking printer, low cost per page.
Cons: Color graphics come out dark when converted to gray-scale.
