Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Samsung CLP-550 series color laser printers are the best in the business because they're the most complete. They're fast, powerful, durable, and efficient, delivering sharp laser text and beautiful photograph-quality images, even on plain paper, in a way that makes your documents more powerful than ever. The CLP-550N includes 128 MB RAM (expandable to 384 MB) plus High-Speed USB 2.0, IEEE-1284 parallel, and built-in 10/100Base-TX interfaces. An optional card is supported that includes both 10/100Base-TX and 802.11b Wireless LAN functionality.

• Superior Productivity. Samsung color laser printers are the most productive in the category--with fast print speeds, high paper capacity, the easiest toner changes, and so much more, including the largest toner capacity in their class and a low cost per page.
• Higher Quality. In a recent reliability survey, Samsung was the only color printer manufacturer rated Outstanding by PC World magazine (12/03). Samsung printers are also constantly recognized for their superior print quality, technical innovation, and more.
• Better Solutions. Always leading with technology, Samsung color laser printers are the first with built-in automatic duplexing. They also offer network and wireless solutions, professional-level color matching software, and the support of a solutions team dedicated to meeting unique customer needs.
• Easier, More Reliable. This Samsung color laser printer features an innovative new static engine architecture that requires fewer moving parts. With this exclusive NO NOIS (Non-Orbiting Noiseless Optic Imaging System) technology, you'll enjoy easier toner changes, higher reliability, and quieter operation.
• Bult-in Duplexing. Manual duplexing, or printing both sides of a sheet of paper, is often an aggravating scenario of endless guesswork trying to figure out exactly how to feed the paper. It's a huge waste of time and paper and toner that Samsung thought you'd be better off without. That's why Samsung designed this series with built-in duplexing. The whole process is as simple as pushing a button. On competitors' machines, automatic duplexing is about $399 extra, or not even an option.
• Superior Paper Handling. This Samsung printer has one of the highest paper capacities in the category. It also includes a standard paper cassette for sleeker, more secure paper storage. You can print 350 pages without ever having to reload.
• Speed. This Samsung printer delivers documents fast. Whether you're printing in color or black-and-white, you won't waste so much time waiting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic duplex color laser at great price., June 16, 2005

This printer is fantastic. I was in the market for a duplexing laser printer and had no idea I'd be able to get a color one for this price. It came very well packaged and I was happy that they had not preinstalled all the toners and drums since it kept the weight down. It took about 15 minutes to install. I love the print quality. You have to be a bit patient for the first page to come out but it's worth the wait. Very nice software included. The software installs well and does not appear to be buggy like the HP software. I could not be happier with this laser printer. Nice true color matches too!

3.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful Of Factory Refurbished Items, May 9, 2007

The printer works as advertised. However it was a factory refurbished item, and it had to be repaired after the first few sheets of paper went through it. Also, its toner cartrages are expensive to replace. In addition, the unit is very heavy, so the cost of shipping it for service was very high.
