Samsung ML 3471ND

Advantages: neat, small, fast
Disadvantages: doesn't have an integral paper tray

...We have been after a small mono laser printer for a while and once we had bought the laptop computer we wanted a printer that was a bit more portable and easy to use. My husband is a self-employed courier and he prints his invoices out each week and we also need to print out his accounts and vat returns each quarter. Also we print flyers and needed a laser printer because of ink smudging on the ink-jet. We settled on the Samsung ML1610 mainly because of its cost. I did a google search and this came up as a cheap but good model. TECHNICAL STUFF +++++++++++++++ It prints up to 16 A4 pages per minute with 150 mhz processor for immediate printout. 2mb RAM installed. It is classed as "ultra light" being 5.5kg in weight.

...I purchased the the Samsung ML-1610 between 2 and 3 years ago and paid £99.00 which I thought was excellent value for a laser printer. It was the cheapest laser printer onthe market at thetime and I'll admit I wasn't expecting it to be a great printer. I was intending to replace it once I had the money to get a better quality one. Looks-wise the Samsung ML-1610 laser printer is a great looking printer. It is quite compact and been well designed with nice curves and esges. A very similar design is still being used with most of Samsung's current printers. The printer prints with reasonable quality. It takes quite some time to start up before it prints (this is when it is heating up to almost melt the toner to the page which is why pages come out of a laser printer warm), but when it starts printing, it can print off several full...

Advantages: Excellent print quality. Print from any PC in house without cables. Smart looking. Compact. Quiet
Disadvantages: Pricier toner than I've been used to. Better networking instructions badly needed.

...so well, it seemed logical to at least give them first refusal on my buying something of theirs, and so that, in part is how I came to decide on the Samsung ML-1630W. The other side to the argument rests with that 'W' in its name. My other printer, an HP all-in-one is 'network-able'- OK, not by wi-fi, but network-able nonetheless. Having seen the delights of having to only leave the router switched on for every PC in the house (all 3 of them!) to be able to access the printer without any one of them needing to be the 'master' that shares printers, I was hooked. The W in the Samsung's name stands for Wireless – yes this one goes one stage further, and does away with cables (except for the mains, duhhhh!) completely. FIRST IMPRESSIONS Out of the box, it does indeed seem to be rather well endowed. Yes, they've even supplied a network... Read review
