Samsung ML 1210 > Reviews

Advantages: Fast and economical
Disadvantages: Can sometimes play up!

Recently I found that I was producing an unusually high volume of urine. I was also producing large volumes of documents that needed to be printed off. I found that not only was the inkjet that I used was not the quickest printer to be invented, it was also not the most economically friendly, it seemed to drink ink faster than a fat bloke eats pies in a pie shop after being on a diet for two weeks/days/minutes. (Incidentally the printer, an HP ... Read review

Advantages: Very simple to use, reliable, excellent print quality
Disadvantages: tempermental software

...long time, I brought a Samsung ML1210 Laser Printer. The problems with the inkjet printers usually stemmed from their flimsy plastic mechanisms- pieces snapped off and springs stretched, snapped or simply fell off. Further the price of the cartridges were astronomical, especially the colour cartridges that never seemed to last very long. At the time of my transition to Laser printing, the majority of my printing consisted of essays for my degree ... Read review

Advantages: - cheap price; economical; good, clear print in text mode; fast; reliable
Disadvantages: - no printer cable; no printed manual; print quality for photos & graphics not good

...user. I chose the Samsung ML-1210 as it was a good price and it had consistently good reviews on the internet. Dabs.com offered the printer for the cheapest price (£85 all inclusive), so I ordered through them and they delivered within 3 days – very good service and I’ll use them again. The printer box was lighter than I expected and it was very well packed. The printer looked and felt like good quality and it was all very easy to ... Read review

Advantages: Quick, very well priced and well spec'd
Disadvantages: Initial problem with cartridge but sorted out by excellent Customer Service.

I bought this printer from Office Worldabout 3 months ago for £59.99. Office World bundled 2 reams of paper with it so it seemed a particularly good deal. It came with a toner cartridge, but be aware, like most suppliers, this is a "starter" pack and is only one third full. Setting it up was a doddle once I worked out which way round the toner cartridge went! I chose to connect by the parallel port option but could easily have used USB as the ... Read review

Advantages: Affordability. Reliability. Ease of use.
Disadvantages: No color printing.

...12. What a difference. The Samsung never jams--I mean never. I have not had a single problem with it. This is a nice change of pace from the inkjets which are notorious for paper jams. Networking was easy. I networked it to my roommate's computer. The USB port made that a snap. Runs well off of Windows 98 and XP platforms. The printer has envelope, business card, label and other media printing features which I cannot comment on because I have ... Read review

Advantages: Fast and easy to use; Good quality; Good starter printer
Disadvantages: Mine became very unreliable after about a year

...been my experience with the Samsung ML 1210. I've seen stirling reviews for it from technically gifted owners and layman alike. I like to think that I have an average knowledge of printers - I can do the basics - and I have had a poor experience with this one. As the reviews on this site are purely subjective, I ask those who disagree with me to understand that this review is based on my own experience. I have had the printer for about a year and ...

Advantages: Excellent toner save mode
Disadvantages: No USB cable

...to do this from the Samsung website. The Ml1210 starts quickly. I've never had a paper jam or any other problem with it, and when I switched from a serial to a USB cable (not included) earlier this year, it worked even faster. I have no complaints about the speed of printing. A gap at the front (which can be opened by pressing a lever) allows paper to come out of the front rather than the top. This is a feature I have used many times, as my ... Read review

Advantages: Small, Compact & Cheap. Also prints directly onto envelopes
Disadvantages: none

I have had my Samsung ML1210 Laser Printer for almost 2 years now and it is still running strong. It features 2 inputs, 1 standard Parallel/Centronics port and 1 USB port. I now have my ML1210 connected to my USB Printer Server so the printer can be shared over my network, and I have no problems at all. With a print speed of 12 pages per minute, the Samsung ML1210 serves its purpose and is quick enough for me. It also prints at 600dpi and its ... Read review

Advantages: Good quality printing, good toner use, fast
Disadvantages: Noisey, thats it!

...if you dont buy official samsung ones - It can be a bit loud, but only on warming up to a print - It rarely jams, so dont worry about that, unlike some other cheap lasers, i've had 1 jam in 500 pages! - Samsung branded printers are known as being far more reliable than other brands ...

Advantages: Fast & quiet
Disadvantages: none

I bought this printer from PC World to replace my Lexmark. I was wanting a flat laser printer, but decided to buy this one because it was about half the price of the cheapest flatbed. Both my partner & I are extremely happy with it. We have it in our living room & it is small enough not to get in the way - not to mention how quiet it is. It is fast & warms up within 15 seconds. Installation could not have been simpler as it just installs itself - ... Read review

Advantages: Quick, Efficient, Good quality at an excellent price
Disadvantages: No USB cable supplied

This is an excellent printer. It is fast, compact & highliy efficient and cost effective. The Toner Save mode prints excellent quality pages but at an extremely cost effect price. Having only had inkjet printers before this was definitly worth it. I saved the cost with the free toner cartridge that it would have cost me just to keep refilling my old Lexmark Inkjet printer. buy refills from the web & save even more - i refilled for just £11.49 ...

Advantages: Very cheap £59.99!!!!
Disadvantages: Noizy when starts...

I couldnt get it work for ages, and printer help properties said, cant help...Lets just hope someone knows the answer to my problem. I have had laser printer in the past, good thing about it was that it took so little ink! I used about 2 packets of paper, about 1000 or more sheets and it still wasnt empty! I was very satisfied with the one I had before, but every now and then problem s occured: it couldnt find usb port nr.... when everything was properly ... Read review
