Samsung ROM (Page description language) - Adobe PostScript Level 3

Advantages: Outstanding Value for Money, Free USB Key Offer
Disadvantages: Entry level model, lack of USB cable

...-jet printers on the market. I could have easily upgraded my sights and chosen the ML 1710, which is Samsung’s next model up from the ML 1510, as it was priced at no more than £5 extra across the market and in fact was identical in price at the retailer where I was shopping. The only difference between the 1510 and the 1710 is that the former prints at a respectable 14 ppm (pages per minute) and the later pips it at 17 ppm. The ML 1510 would suffice in my case as the printer was destined for a life of sporadic home use the extra three pages per minute would have made pitifully little difference, and indeed the only advantage would be the satisfaction that I did not buy the entry-level model. However if the printer is destined for a life of regular office type use I would recommend the ML 1710 if not something else altogether. It was mostly... Read review

Toner for the ML 1510 cost about £20 each and these will print well in excess of 5,000 pages each.

Another thing to consider with laser printers, is the drum unit. Drums need to be replaced every 20,000 or so pages, and cost more than the printer itself in some circumstances. I've never had to buy a new drum for the samsung yet however you can expect them to be in the £30 - £50 price range. ---------- Design... Read review

...!) ... With a lift handle at the side it makes things a little easier when you want to move it about your room to print something else. Being the lightest colour laser printer in the world you don't really have much of an excuse not to help your friend print something. The machine looks so simple you almost wouldn't believe that it can do a lot when you look at it at first. This printer has a 150-sheet tray that projects from the bottom of the front panel, with a fold-out paper support when the printed pages are to be fed out from the top surface to prevent pages sliding off. You can print from small 3x5 cards to legal-size sheets (the tray can expand in order to compliment that). If you want to manually feed single sheets, you can flip open the translucent plastic cover at the front of the tray and insert pages one at a time (Of course... Read review
