Watch the Samsung printers. Getting the wireless to connect is often temperamental and toner is a bit pricy. Also, their tech help is worthless. Yes, I'm speaking from experience but check the reviews.
I completely Agree, the wireless does not work well. Worse yet, if you need one of their printers on your wired network for staff and on the wireless for patrons they cannot be on 2 networks at once. Wire or wireless not both. useless. -WS
My wireless works just fine now but getting it to work the first time was a bloody nightmare (and I'm not even on Elm St.). Using a USB cable to set it up simply did not work. The first time I contacted their tech helpless department, the woman kept coming up with directions I didn't understand, then when I asked her to walk me through them, she would try something else instead (obviously, she didn't have clue what she was advising). The second time I contacted them the idiot on the other end kept saying I had to use an ethernet cable to connect to the router. I couldn't get it through his thick skull that 1. my router was 25' away in another room, 2. I didn't have a 25' ethernet cable, and 3. it was the middle of the night and there was no way I could get a 25' ethernet cable. I finally hung up on the "maroon" (apologies to Bugs Bunny) after he suggest I carry the printer to the other room and use a shorter ethernet cable. I told him my longest ethernet cable, 18", still wouldn't reach and, being 63 (at the time) and handicapped, if I carried that 40 lb. printer anywhere, it would be to my truck to ship the machine back. I tried using the WPS buttons on the printer and my router and couldn't get a connection that way until I lost my temper and leaned on the printer's WPS button while muttering not so sweet nothings not exactly under my breath to the POS. It turned out you have to hold the WPS button in until the printer responds on the display, which takes at least three seconds (any other time I've used WPS on other equipment, response time was immediate). It was really nice of Samsung to not put that in their *&^%! directions. Once I got the printer and the router talking to each other, all I had to do was install the driver.
The problem I have now is, if I put something other than 20 lb. paper in the single sheet feed tray, such as a 3"x5" card or an envelope (I print more of those and checks more than anything else), the printer will throw an error message, complaining that there is a media mismatch. Pressing OK button on the printer once or twice will let the print go through, otherwise there is a 30-45 second delay before the print goes through on its own. Contacting Samsung on this so far has been a total waste of time.
It's a pity that I'm having these problems because, otherwise, this would be a nice printer. Color and B&W printouts are sharp and clear, and colors are bright and beautiful. Once warmed up, it's pretty fast. Carts are expensive but cost per page is reasonable (a little over a nickel for B&W).
