Will make for a lovely brick if it isn’t so hot at printing.

Yeah, they look nifty enough, but how are they at printing?

OK, cool then — but I’d rather try it our first before buying

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.

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.

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.

Were you referring to the female model in black or the black looking cube thing? ;-D

That was nice of the blog to reprint the Samsung press release in its entirety.

Were there printers in that big photo? While I saw the orange toenail polish, I completely missed the printers.
