Summary: This is an update. I'm changing my rating from 2 stars to 1. The printer continues to become noisier and noisier. It sounds kind of like a garbage truck when it's printing. Also there is virtually no customer support or even adequate instructions. When you call the help line, they put you on hold for 45 minutes and then hang up. Right now my printer refuses to print for no apparent reason, and there's no way to fix it since there's no customer support. Original review: Pretty fast B/W laser printer that can print two sided. There were no instructions for set-up, but I managed to figure it out. My main complaint is that the Samsung is too noisy, especially if it's on the desk with your computer. A noisy machine sounds flimsy, and it may well be, although I haven't had any problems yet. Even when it's not printing, it makes a very annoying high pitched whining sound. I set it up so that it goes into \"sleep\" mode after five minutes of non-use, and the sleep mode is quiet. But I usually leave the room when it's printing, as the sound is very annoying. Would not purchase again.
Summary: I purchased this printer for our law office a couple weeks ago. It has worked flawlessly and the network connection was a piece of cake. Now all of our computers can print directly to the network printer without the need for sharing.
The only problem I had was getting it to work with a very old, soon to be disposed of, Windows 98 computer. However, the Samsung website had the necessary driver and the problem was solved once I shared the printer through another newer computer.
