5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Printer, August 8, 2003

If your looking for a small but very capable laser printer for personal or home office use, this Samsung is an excellent choice.

In addition to its attractive appearance, small size, and fast print speed, this printer also has very good quality output for text and graphics. The only minor drawbacks I can claim have been mentioned by others: noise during operation (quiet when in sleep mode) and first print warm-up of about 30 seconds (actually quite good for printers in this range, but slower than some inkjets). I also had problems with feeding very thick cardstock without having the paper slip in the roller and print slightly askew. But despite that difficulty, the paper feed options are still above average for this class of printer.

All in all, this is an excellent choice for anyone looking for economical, high quality B&W home printing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good printer, toner costs are actually not high!, July 2, 2004

An earlier reviewer complaining about toner costs missed a point about the Samsung. The Samsung toner cart is a combined toner/drum cartridge. The Brother printers have seperate toners and drums. From experience, you need to replace the Brother drum after about 15k pages, not the 20k they rate the drums at. So every 4-5 cartridges, you need a new drum too. The combined Samsung cart is about 50% more than the equiv Brother, but if you get the Brother, you will spend the "savings" on a drum later. That said, both the Samsung and equiv Brother are great printers, just make sure your Brother drum doesn't run out during a project, or your local office supply chain store will charge about 50% more for the drum than Amazon (about as much as 2 Samsung carts).

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent economy choice., October 6, 2003

I just purchased a ML-1750, and so far it's great! The toner-save mode is quite handy, and still creates very legible text, just slightly lighter than normal mode. One wouldn't notice the difference except side-by-side, so it's well worth the 40% toner savings claimed by Samsung. The included toner prints only 1000 pages; 3000 pages is the yield for a regular cartridge, at around $80, a pretty good deal.

The printer is fast and setup was easy. Note that a USB cable is not included. As mentioned, it is somewhat light, so you have to hold onto the printer when inserting the toner/paper cartridges, but this is not much of an issue.

It does also take about 20 seconds to warm-up. The power-save timeout is configurable, however, as are many other options. The included drivers are excellent in that regard; features include poster mode, multi-page per sheet, zoom, etc.

The only complaint I have is regarding paper handling: it's not totally straight, so pages can come out just very slightly skewed. Make sure the guides in the paper tray are properly setup (a bit of a trick, because you can only have it in one very tiny "click" before 8.5" won't fit anymore), and it's not off by more than 1 or 2 mm, but otherwise.. it bounds on unacceptable. This could have been easier to setup. The manual paper feed seems like it might have similar issues, although I haven't had an opportunity to totally test it yet.

All in all, a great printer, highly recommended. 1200dpi, up to 8X as much memory as competitors, paper tray. Just make sure you setup the guides right, and you're set!
