Advantages: Good Price, Small Package Disadvantages: Small paper tray and no manual feed
...one weekend and spotted the Samsung CLP-300 for what I considered a reasonable price £150, so I picked one up.
-----------The Specification-----------
The CLP-300 claims to be the world's smallest and lightest colour laser printer! I am not sure if this claim is correct but the printer does come in a small package measuring in at 390 x 344 x 265 mm, this is very useful if you want to put it on the end of a desk, compared to the HP Colour LaserJet ... ...are reasonably accurate.
The Samsung uses four cartridges to provide the colours a dedicated black which will cover around 2,000 A4 pages at 5% coverage the Yellow/Magenta/Cyan cartridges are smaller and will cover 1,000 pages of A4 at 5% coverage. The waste toner is captured in separate container that has to be replaced when full and the image drum is also separate which leads to lower cost cartridges.
The printer has a paper tray with a capacity ...

Advantages: Speed, cost and quality Disadvantages: Nothing I can think off at the moment
This is a great printer. Beware that there are two types: The CLP 300 and the CLP 300N. The 300N is for networking. This means you can print to this printer from more than one PC if you have more than one PC in your house or office. For home use it is a waste of money because I do not print that often to justify networking.
The quality is great and really amazing and the speed is mind blowing. If you need REAL photo quality printing, this is not ... ...- Especially if you are a photo printing connoisseur. There is only one button - The on-off button, nothing else! Easy to use for the "not so computer literate", but could be disappointing for those who likes to tinker a bit.
I also own an inkjet photo printer which is great when it comes to quality. The advantage of the laser printer above the inkjet type is that it can print close to a thousand colour documents before you have to do anything to ...

Advantages: Small laser printer Disadvantages: Unreliable
...months ago I saw the Samsung CLP-300 on a website and it looked brilliant. Well, everything looks brilliant if someone wants to sell it. Anyhow, for me it looked good enough. But I did not want to pay £150 for a new printer. So, I had a look in ebay. And there it was my Samsung CLP-300 for £100. Well, I bid on and got it for £112 in the end.
The CLP-300 claims to be the world's smallest and lightest colour laser printer. Well, at least at that time. ... ...is pretty small for a laser printer. It’s weight is 13.6 kg, which I found pretty heavy. But that’s simply because I am so used to inkjet printer. Looking at the box, it says the CLP-300 uses 350W when printing and 17W at standby. I cannot measure it, so I am not sure, if that’s true. But it does seem to be a lot. It’s pretty loud when printing. But it was ok for me. It does get pretty hot , though after just 3 pages printing. The speed is quite ...

Quick review of Samsung CLP 300
After dealing with 2 of these printers, I would have to say AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Both have been very unreliable requiring complete re-installs of driver everytime the PC restarts. (Printers go Offline, & never print again until re-installed, Even after telling them to go online NOTHING prints). This apparantly is a very common problem with this model. Numerous drivers did not solve its problems. Print quality is ok - when you get it to work.
Even though both printers are under 1 year with about 500 prints between them -both have had to be repaired.
Absolutely awful printers - Get an HP & save yourself some stress. ...

Quick review of Samsung CLP 300
The colour print is poor. The black is OK but a bit heavy. It is also very slow to initialise. The printer has broken down 3 times in the first 10 months, needing an new imaging unit and drum and Samsung customer services have been difficult to deal with. I would not recommend this printer. ...

Advantages: Speed of printing Disadvantages: Not beast for pcitures
This printer is great for the price, and the speed at which it prints is ace.
The quality of the prints, differs from the different settings, from draft, which is quickest setting, to best.. which although takes a few seconds longer to process (only for lots of colour) is still speedy.
Quality of output is no where near comparable to that of an ink jet, no spills. no smears, no waiting for the ink to dry on heavily coloured printouts.
One thing ... ...steam comes off the paper as it is printed. this is nothing to worry about, jus part of the process, due to the sealing technology used to get the toner onto the paper.
Another thing is a wierd smell, but this is explained in the user manual, and as stated after a few prints, this goes away. ...
