" ... That was probably overkill since this thing worked flawlessly on all my Mac and AirPrint devices from the moment I plugged it in. ... "
" ... Perhaps it is that I am running Windows 10 with Bitdefender or something else, but I finally have a working printer. ... "
" ... Love the app that I can print from my smart phone! ... "
" ... Wireless hook up was a snap with both our Apple and PC computers. ... "
" ... Anyway, setting this up with my wife's laptop was NOT easy--at all--but once accomplished, the thing works quite well. ... Printing from her phone and other functions? ... "
" ... works great with all my devices . ... "
" ... The only struggle we had, like several others who have written reviews, was getting the printed wirelessly networked to our home (mac). ... What ultimately ended up working for us was downloading the "Easy Printer Manager" from the link on Samsung's support website, connecting to our computer with a USB and completing the wireless setup through that. ... "
" ... This is particularly grotesque, given the ease of setup built into MacOS. ... "

" ... Just amazed how affordable a good quality laser printer is. ... "
" ... I am fairly happy with this printer, in-so-far as it seems to put out nice crisp prints and prints duplex. ... The duplex printing is the reason I purchased this over other printers, by the way. ... "
" ... Great black and white printer. ... "
" ... It's quiet and impressively fast with print quality that leaves nothing to be desired. ... "
" ... Best printer for me! ... "
" ... Print quality is standard black and white laser print quality. ... "
" ... Printer works perfect. ... "
" ... This is my second Samsung printer and I found it copies great for me. ... "

" ... The setup for this simple printer is not intuitive. ... The setup software says the network setup was successful, but when I try to print, it goes offline. ... "
" ... As far as the mechanics, the printer was easy to set up and so far has worked flawlessly, including the built-in duplexer. ... "
" ... Wireless setup went without a hitch. ... "
" ... I spent an hour installing software and then it only worked for wired connection. ... Set up was breeze. ... "
" ... This is particularly grotesque, given the ease of setup built into MacOS. ... I ultimately succeeded in setup by hacking the installer. ... "
" ... I will say that set up was not a 1-2-3 easy accomplishment. ... "
" ... The setup, like many have said was simple and straight forward. ... "
" ... However, I was unable to install and use it myself (using CD provided) via wireless . ... A final point--I reversed the early steps I had taken (to install it in the network) in order to avoid subsequent confusion as to which printer to use (actually, just one exists). ... "

" ... Although the wifi set up was a little stupid I got it to work. ... "
" ... 1) network setup is too complicated. ... "
" ... Very difficult to hook up with wifi router. ... "
" ... It is apparently quite impossible to connect it to a Windows network. ... "
" ... The printer works well enough once set up, but configuring it for wi-fi is byzantine and buggy. ... "
" ... In particular, the WiFi connection seems very flakey. ... "
" ... Wireless setup doesn't work. ... "

" ... I had forgotten how silent, cheap, and reliable they were. ... "
" ... I purchased this printer to replace an HP LaserJet 1200 that I had owned for many years. ... "
" ... I do not know why it took so long to get this properly set-up, but such is life. ... It is working now. ... "
" ... I've only had for a few days but I don't believe my assessment will change with time. ... I am replacing a similar Samsung (pre-wireless) that served me incredibly well for the last 8 years. ... "
" ... First one lasted almost five years without a hitch. ... "
" ... After fussing with it for about an hour it is now set up and running. ... "
" ... I have been using this printer for several months with no issues. ... "
" ... Had no trouble getting it set up and working. ... "

" ... However I was not able to print one piece of paper without the printer getting jammed in the most ridiculous places. ... Two paper even stuck to the back reel and were almost impossible to get off. ... "
" ... Tray for paper is not the standard 11" deep - what were they thinking? ... As a result, only small amounts of paper may be loaded into tray and it curls up at an angle. ... That's right, the paper does not sit flat in the paper tray. ... "
" ... 2) letter size papers don't fit well. ... "
" ... Paper jams are incredibly difficult to clear as it is very hard to access the inner workings of the machine. ... Worst of all - after clearing it's most recent paper jam it now prints with a giant triangle-shaped crease down the middle of every paper. ... "
" ... I am used to printers that only hold a limited number of paper which is so annoying, this Samsung holds 250 that is one part that I considered in buying this printer. ... "
" ... The paper jam and multiple pages coming out issue is what I want to address. ... I thought it was odd that the paper in the tray angled up and you could only fit a stack of 20 or so sheets in as well. ... This causes the tray to extend past the back of the printer, which was weird, but allowed a normal size piece of paper to fit in the tray normally. ... Once that is adjusted properly a large amount of paper can be fit into the paper tray and the printer will print normally with no jams. ... "
" ... 1) It grabs a dozen sheets at a time instead of one and jams itself, wasting paper every time. ... 4) Sometimes it decides not to pick up any paper at all. ... Waste of time, money, paper and space. ... "
