My Samsung 1710 has served me well and I am expecting it to serve me for a long time to come!

You should've bought it online. Its $169.92 (Web only price) -$70 (Instant savings)- $30 (MIR). SO it comes to be $115-30=$85. Not much of a difference.

Printer works great, really small too.

Samsung is the best!

sschopra, where on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]ebay[/rfdlink] did you get the toner? I purchased some toner from tonerkits, but the text was very light (greyish rather than black).

Samsung ML 4600 here. In my 5 years of uni, had to change toner once.

RELIABLE. The most important factor. Vote goes to Samsung.

You can definitely pick up the refill kits on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]ebay[/rfdlink]. That's the cheapest way as far as I know.

using the Samsung ML-2010 which I just purchased at staples a few days ago :) Got it setup in another room on my network as a print server on a really old cursty P200 box lol. Works AMAZINGLY.. after a while of inactivity it knows, and it goes into hibernation/quiet mode heh loving it and esp for the price I got it for as well :)

169.92 - 70 INSTANT = 99.92 + TAX = 114.91 - 30MIR = $84.91 :) Had one on hold down at ol' hwy7 and woodbine and picked it up online.

best printer I can recommend you, small and compact.

I got my Samsung ML2010 delivered the other day, and I gotta say that I am impressed at the quality and speed considering the price of $70 after rebates. Its at least twice as fast as my father's Samsung ML1450 and its a lot less noisy. If you are even considering getting a laser printer, then I would recommend you order this one while the deal is still on.

If you want a high quality and inexpensive colour laser, the [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=167]Dell[/rfdlink] 3000cn is the way to go. It's got excellent reviews. Toner are not cheap though, since you have to buy them from [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=167]Dell[/rfdlink] (boo!). I'm not sure if you can refill them.

I bought a Samsung ML-1210 in 2nd year (three years ago) and it's still serving me faithfully, even though it isn't the fastest out there now. I found a place online to buy refill kits for $7.00 a shot, but I can't seem to remember the site.

Call up tech support and they were absolutely useless. They told "well if you followed the instructions and print quality is still poor, you should purchase a new toner cartridge". I was thinking "wtf, this printer is only half a year old and there are plenty of prints left on the cartridge, why would I purchase a new toner cartridge?"...plus the toner is more than the printer itself.

Called up twice and received the same answer. So I have never purchased a Brother laser printer ever again..........just my experience.
I also had the same problem. But the smudging didn't happen until a couple years after. So I got some use out of it at least. Never did bother with technical support though. :mad:
