Excellent Value March 16, 2006 Gary Boughamer (Pittsburgh,PA) 19 out of 19 found this review helpful
I have read all the reviews and comparisons and settled on the low priced Samsung ML-2010. The product is easy to install and use. I was concerned about other comments suggesting the print quality was not dark enough. I can only compare this Samsung to the HP 1020 laser printers that I use at work and I feel the print quality of the Samsung is EXCELLENT! It is simple to switch from the toner save mode (lighter print) to standard (dark) print with the touch of a button. This machine is super fast. The machine emits a low noise level for apprx 5 minutes after the last page printed... I assume the machine is waiting during this time for the user to send other print jobs before going into a deep energy save mode. Once the 5 min is up the machine is silent until summoned once again. I took a close look at cost per page (toner costs)the Samsung beat most of its competitors--another plus. Machines that have a separate drum and toner (the drum will cost you dearly i.e. Brother printers) are deceiving in their consumption costs. Samsung thankfully uses a one peice toner/drum cartridge.
great value, but don't expect class October 24, 2005 Ruly S. Tafzil 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
It works as well as would hope. For ~50 bucks after rebate, it's in the mid-low end inkjet range, but prints as good as a decent laser. what else is there to want?
things to know:
it's a little loud. when you print a document, a fan will turn on, and it will stay on for about 2-3 minutes after the document is printed. when the fan is on, it's definitely *loud*, think, a mini copy machine loud. not drive-you-crazy loud, but definitely annoying loud, esp since it stays on for awhile.
a new toner cartridge will cost you more than the printer (after rebate) practically, but that's okay, since it still comes out to ~2.5c a page, less if you use toner saver mode, then about 1.5c a page.
it does grayscales well, though i wouldn't use it to print out anything picture-like. but for googlemaps, it works great.
other than that, it's worked fine so far!
Top Value! September 16, 2005 A. Griffin (New York, NY United States) 27 out of 30 found this review helpful
I found out about this winner @ Circuit City of all places. I was scanning the 'net there to find a matching price for a laser printer I was about to buy. After reading the reviews I decided that this was the one for me. Who can beat a 22 ppm laser printer @ $60 after rebates?! Circuit City could not match the price (it sold there for $99 matching J&R's price) because of its expenses as a storefront; it only matches other storefronts, so Amazon.com got my business. I ordered the printer on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday. My ML-2010 replaces my HP Laser Jet 4, which was state of the art when I bought it back in '93. The ML-2010 takes up less than half the space and weighs about 70% less.
Great Printer, Great Value! January 18, 2006 K. DANKOF (Omaha, NE) 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Buy this printer! You will be satisfied if you run a small office.
The "noise" when printing, in my view, is very reasonable. I don't see what the big deal is as others have reviewed. All laser printers, in my experiences in several offices, make a sound when printing.
The quality is very good. I use the printer to print neighborhood maps where street detail is important.
It is very compact and simple to use. You can't go wrong with this machine - exceptional value!
Excellent Printer for Mac (OS X) & PC, fast and flawless December 14, 2005 D. Ciomek (San Francisco, CA) 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This seems to be an excellent printer and price/value ratio. Have been using it since early December 05 with daily printing. Printer is way faster than older Samsung ML-1430, especially on two Powerbooks running OS X Panther and Tiger. Win XP prints even a little faster. It's a little noisy when printing, but immediately turns completely silent after the pages are out until you print the next job.
Excellent text quality. Samsung lasers are really great. Optically I preferred the smaller footprint of the ML-1430, but that one was slow on the Mac. This one really works great, we use it on auto-connect through a Keyspan USB server, flawless!
Initially it struggled a bit with the paper feeder and I was worried and wondered if I should return it. After a few prints it was fine and now it eats everything. Standard recycled paper from Staples and regular one from Costco goes through fine. We often print on both sides of the paper and it works fine as well.
Got a great deal on Newegg.com with $50 MIR. Can't beat this price value
