Inferior quality [Posted on 2008-01-02]
You could not print 3 pages continously without jamming ( the printer would pick up 2 to 3 pages from the paper tray at the same time and end up jam itself ). The only way to get around is to manually feed the paper one by one. I have noticed this problem ever since I got it as a gift( it's the reason I did not return it ). I think it's a product design flaw.

I hope anyone who is thinking about buying this printer see this message.

It is a good refurbished item [Posted on 2008-02-13]
This is a very good printer for the price I paid. It replaced the QMS Konica 1100L that never work right, because Konica did not provide a suitable software for their printer !! what a shame !!
I am happy with the purchase.

Value printer with questionable performance [Posted on 2008-04-22]
With the price, I figured I didn't have much to lost with this printer. I was just looking for a decent laser printer to print black and white documents w/no graphics. I was disappointed to learn that ALL text that is supposed to be black prints medium gray instead. It's as if the entire document is "grayed out". Today I still print my black and white docs on my inkjet. The speed is a bit slower, but the quality doesn't look like a 15-year-old dot matrix in draft mode. In addition to the poor output quality, the printer is loud enough to wake my children, so it joined my power tools in the list of equipment I can only use before 9pm. Save yourself the cash - look elsewhere.

Works fine for a while, then croaks without warning [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I'm not sure about Samsung printers anymore. I bought the 2010's predecessor, the 1210, about five years ago (I think it was about $120 at the time, which seemed like a pretty good deal for a laser printer). It performed decently for about three years, and then one day, it stopped sucking in the paper. Because I had a home-based business and really needed a printer, I went out and bought the then-current 2010. This was exactly two years ago. Now, the 2010 is giving me a cryptic "LSU error" message. It seems to function normally, sucks in the paper, and before it can print, an error message pops up on my screen. A cursory search for information suggests a grim diagnosis: the laser scanner unit probably needs to be replaced and would cost as much as a new printer.

I have had pretty good luck with Samsung products generally, but it does seem that printers these days are more or less disposable. Two to three years of light to moderate use, and then they croak. At my last job, we had an ancient Hewlett-Packard printer that weighed about 25 pounds and printed 8 ppm, but it was indestructible and still printed out nice clean copies. Not too many printers are built to last these days, I don't think. To be fair, I didn't pay a whole lot for either Samsung printer, but sheesh--what pieces of junk.

Good for Mac but LOUD [Posted on 2008-07-12]
I purchased this printer a few years ago. After downloading the drivers from the Samsung site, I've had no issues with this printer. It seems that with many printers, the claims of compatibility are minimal compared with what is offered to the Windows OS.

The only complaint with this printer is that it is very, very loud. I also understand that it's an energy hog as well. I would still be using it, but a lightning storm, even when connected to a surge protector, fried it.
