This is a great SOHO printer with outstanding print quality. If quality is not an issue you can put the printer into toner save mode, either by using the button on the top of the printer or through the print menu on your PC. Even in that mode, print quality is adequate for most situations and is excellent when the toner cartridge is new.
When I got the printer three years ago, I'd just started a college course so I've done a LOT of printing. The manufacturers reckon 3500 sheets a cartridge but since I've had my ML-1210 I've only had to replace the toner twice. At around £30 a time, that's not a lot.
As a Windows XP user, I had to download new printer drivers, as the ones on the CD did not work, but that's only a small gripe, as it was easy enough 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 printer sits above my head.
This printer has now been superseded by newer models, but would still be an excellent secondhand purchase in my opinion
