DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Right out of the box and like many others the paper cannot feed. The whole printer just feels beyond cheap and now I have to deal with returning this.

Many others on many sites have had this problem... I'm sure some are just fine, but why risk it. I had a brother before and will be going back... frankly the quality level has turned me totally off to Samsung products.

maintenance
Paper pick-up requires constant cleaning/rejuvenation. Otherwise prints flawlessly and in good quality. Cleaning is an easy process, and if you are willing to clean every 100 pages or so then I would give it 4 stars.

The little printer that could!
This was a replacement for my 5 1/2 year old Brother HL-1440 laser printer. Here are my impressions of it after the first day's use:
1) This is substantially lighter than my old Brother printer (under 20 lbs. vs. approx. 30(?) lbs.) and more compact (it takes up even less space on the old TV cart I use for a printer stand than the Brother did, even factoring in the paper tray protruding from the front).
2) Setup was pretty easy -- mostly a matter of following the numbered pictures on the "quickstart" poster (I would have liked a little more explanatory text with the pictures; however, fortunately, the pictures were pretty self-explanatory -- which left room for such text as there was to be repeated in half-a-dozen different languages). I followed the instructions for loading the Vista drivers from the included disc.
3) It is a little noisy when printing (about hand-held vacuum cleaner-level), but very quiet otherwise.
4) No paper curling or jamming noted (and I'm just using ordinary copy paper -- not special laser paper). Haven't tried recycling old printouts for draft copies yet (but I predict that won't be a problem, based upon how tolerant this printer is of cheap copier paper).
5) NO "power hog" problems (unlike the complaints in other user reviews) -- and this was with the printer plugged into the same surge protector as all other parts of the computer, in a 90-year-old house with 25-year-old wiring.
6) Nice sharp printouts on all documents printed out so far (short word processing documents with fancy fonts, emails, computer game walkthroughs with maps); nice intense blacks (even on those maps with lots of black surrounding the playable portions); 8MB memory means no reduction in resolution with graphics-intensive print projects (something that used to happen regularly with the old Brother printer's 2MB of memory).
7) Replacement toner is pricy from the office supply superstores (which carry OEM Samsung toner, but no house-brand compatible toner); however, if you don't mind compatible toner (from Amazon Marketplace vendors, of course) or are willing to shop carefully on a certain large auction website, you can get toner cartridges for substantially less than what the office supply stores charge. (Plus, since the drums are built into the toner cartridges, you never have to worry about the drum wearing out).
I'm quite happy with my Samsung printer thus far. If you don't absolutely need color output (and don't need the scanner function of a multifunction machine), this is a way better value than comparably-priced inkjet printers.

Great performer, small, quick, silent standby
Great performer for text etc., haven't printed much graphics with it. We have used this for about 6-8 months now, with 2 Macs and one Win XP machine. Prints flawless with XP or OS X Tiger and Leopard.

It's a little noisy when printing, but immediately silent afterward. Very fast to print the first page and every other to follow. Have to mark one star down as it does not have a toner saver function button on the device, as the former ML-2010 we had. This one you can do toner save mode only via software print settings, which only works on PC, not on Mac, which are the main machines in our place. Stupid!

Anyway, the printer gets 5 stars for printing performance. We use 100% recycled paper and did not have one jam yet, probably printing about 300-500/month for 6 months so far. We even use old prints for printing on the backside to save paper and the environment and it eats them all flawlessly. Very small. I preferred the ML-2010 beige color over this grey but that's cosmetics, this one has the larger paper try (250), which is nice.

Worked for about a year
I loved this printer until it broke. First it started jamming the paper. I needed to disassemble it with a screwdriver to remove the paper. Eventually it quit working completely. It was cheap, and I wanted to like it, but it did not last.

I just bought a Brother HL-2140 which seems to have better reviews.
