 Don't waste your money January 6, 2009

I like the small footprint of this model and I like that it's quiet. It doesn't bother me that it's slow. However, the color print quality is unacceptable. I previously owned a Konica Minolta color laser printer, purchased from Sam's Club, which was big, fast and noisy, however, the color output was exceptional before the machine shot craps. In hindsight, I probably should have replaced the KM machine with the Brother unit.
If color print quality means anything to you, I recommend avoiding this unit.
 Great printer for the price December 29, 2008

I have been waiting for a color printer in the $200 price range for a while when this Samsung finally came along. The printer is easy to set up in XP and Vista - it took me less than 5 min to set each of them up wirelessly. Print quality for text is good and the color is adequate if you are not looking for photo quality. The printer does run warm due to it compact size after a large print job and you'll definitely smell the toner. Other than that - there is not much to complain about.
 Excellent printer at a great price! December 28, 2008

I've owned one of these for about a month now and have been very impressed. It seems to just work. I don't print a huge amount, so I typically only turn it on just to print. What's great about it is that I don't have to have the printer turned on to send the print job - once the printer gets turned on, the job will go through just like it should. This is in contrast to my Inkjet for which I had to cast proper spells to get it to print jobs at all, and if anything at all went wrong I usually had to reboot my computer and just hope all would be ok.
Some reviews have complained about start-up times; I guess I don't see it. Even with a cold start, the Samsung printer gets 3-4 page jobs done faster than my Inkjet ever did. Factor in the frequency of jamming and miscommunications between my computer and the Inkjet printer, and the Samsung printer wins hands down.
I also saw complaints about print quality. My department at work has a multi-thousand dollar color laser printer, and the images from this one compare very favorably. Specialized photo printers will certainly do better, this is good enough for many purposes short of framed prints.
As I said: this is a printer that just works. More products should be built to these standards.
Samsung CLP-315W Color Laser Printer December 22, 2008

After receiving my first Color Laser Printer from Amazon and it having a faulty Wi-Fi card, Samsung tech support (who were superb) told me to have the machine replaced. Amazon (also superb) made quick replacement with another machine that now works flawlessly. Having the ability to print out very nice color copies from anywhere in my house is just excellent. The machine is fast, the copies are very good quality, and for the money, just a great buy. I recommend this printer highly to the home/office person like myself who is tired of dealing with cables.
Setup ok, color ok, wireless feature ++, buy more toner... now December 13, 2008

I bought this on 3 Dec through Amazon. Normal great delivery and packaging. Setup was ok - although minimal instructions like other reviewers have said. Used a Cat5 cable to my router, logged in, changed the IP and pw, and no issues.
Had a bit of trouble with the paper cartridge - didn't realize it stuck out (no pictures indicated that) and it's pretty cheap / thin plastic so I didn't want to use too much oomph. But eventually figured it out and I'm comfortable with putting paper in and out (needed for double sided printing).
Just finished printing 120 Christmas letters with color pics embedded - 2 pages, front and back, so about 450 pages total. And the black toner is hollering "low!" so I ordered another (supposedly 1.5k pages) from Amazon - $43. Seems a bit soon to me, but there it is.
Cyan cartridge now needs "shaking" every 10 pages or so or it doesn't fill in where it should - and the "guage" is still showing 30% available.
In summary:
+ No inkjet nozzles to clean
+ More moisture resistant printout
= Decent color - not inkjet quality (when they're good), but good enough
= Noise is less than my other lasers
= Slowish network awareness - 15/20 secs (and it's 10' from the router)
- Low toner volumn imho
- Toner replacements a bit pricey - same as others, though
- Instructions slim to none, although the included pdf manual is not bad
I'd look around, but might buy this one again if I were looking for the same features. Generally satisfied with reservation.
