Two things you don’t get with this printer:
Only works on Windows. Samsung had ONE printer, a long time ago, that worked on Mac and Unix, complete with compatible printer ports, Postscript, etc… and advertised as such. I bought it, and it worked well enough.
When I came back to the shop I bought it from, around a year later, they denied having ever sold that machine, didn’t know what toner cartridge it needed, and even phone calls to Samsung’s HQ took a while to confirm such a printer ever existed…

Were there printers in that big photo? While I saw the orange toenail polish, I completely missed the printers.
That was nice of the blog to reprint the Samsung press release in its entirety.
Were you referring to the female model in black or the black looking cube thing? ;-D
It looks good, but it’s not all that much of a design breakthrough. In fact, it appears very much to be a refinement of the basic design of the early 1990s NeXT Laser Printer. Essentially the same, but adapted to today’s paper-handling capabilities.
And Windows-only GDI drivers are an endemic Samsung limitation.
NeXT was way ahead of its time, design-wise. The NeXTStep desktop was gorgeous.
As for Samsung, their drivers have always been horrible and are still horrible.
Samsung hardware – great.
Samsung drivers and user interface – horrible.
A quick spot check of mono and color laser printer specs on Samsung’s American website reveals support for Mac OS X and various flavors of Unix. The driver download pages seem to back up this claim.
Of course, not owning one of their printers, I can’t testify to the quality of said drivers. But they do appear to be available.
OK, cool then — but I’d rather try it our first before buying
Yeah, they look nifty enough, but how are they at printing?
‘Do you (two) come with the printer?’
Will make for a lovely brick if it isn’t so hot at printing.
