    bad

    When you have filled the paper, the drawer can no longer be pushed all the way in at the bottom front, but sticks out 10 cm - it looked different in the picture. As a result, the device takes up more space than expected. The printer is very heavy. An illuminated display would have been better. All in all, I ordered the device because it was down and I wanted a laser printer, because with inkjet you have ONLY problems. Printouts on this Samsung machine smell like rubber and it also takes quite a long time, and what bothers me the most is that with such a large and relatively expensive machine you can only do double-sided printing manually (print one page, pull out drawer, put print in reverse, put drawer back in and print other page). But the print quality is good. --- After exactly 2 years and 2 weeks, just after the warranty expired, the scanner broke, although I rarely used it. Only the printer still works. Repair would cost as much as a new multifunction device. Am very disappointed in this device and SAMSUNG.

    Do not buy under any circumstances!

    I strongly advise against buying this printer. I use the printer via USB from my MacBook Pro (Sierra). The driver has to be tediously downloaded from the Samsung website, the installation did not work several times, then it started printing in black and white and after I reinstalled the driver it also printed in colour. BUT: Between two print jobs I have to switch the printer off and on again every time, otherwise it prints endless (yes, endless) cryptic characters (always one line). Until all the paper is used up or you pull the power. The fact that the rest of the printer's design is rather unimaginative can be seen from the fact that the paper feed is very small and so is the paper output (it stops at 10 printed envelopes). How they arrive at the stated speeds is also beyond me, for an A4 page of a small (5x5cm) photo and otherwise only black text it takes about 13 seconds, I have rarely seen such a slow (modern!) printer.

    So: absolutely unsuitable in practice, better invest a few francs more and keep your hands off this printer.

    If you want to pick it up from me for free, please reply to my review, otherwise I will soon throw the **** out of the window or destroy it with my bare fist.

    miserable

    Very cheaply made flap that makes you think the part will probably break after a few days.
    The Samsung installation is quite intuitive, but only works if you define this device as the default printer, which probably nobody     wants.
    After several reinstallations, it does work now.
    I would definitely not recommend this device to anyone.
    And if I had bought it at list price, I would have returned it.
