Do not buy this printer!

After a week or so, we got the error message "transfer belt error". After about a month without a printer, and several replacement transfer belts that didn't help, Samsung finally sent out a local support person. Two visits later he finally got it working again.

However now the print quality for black content is terrible. Text is all blurry. They suggested shaking the black toner container, but it did not help. We are going to try some replacement toner, but at $60 per color, its going to be expensive to find out if it helps.

I just wish we had bought locally instead of with Amazon, so we could return it. I'm very disappointed with Samsung, and I'm unlikely to buy anything from them again.

What he is saying is true, We bought 2 ofthis units and is hard to know that now that we are "married" with them for a while is going to be a long road and lots of bumps.

Toner is very expensive, small cartridges, the do not last, also transfer belt, imaging units has to be replaced constantly (we've done both twice). We think that is why Samsung sell the units relatively cheap, they make lots of money selling the consumables, you have no other choise than to pay their high prices, or loose the original investment.
