The Samsung CLP-315 Laser printer is great for my use. I am a college student living on my own - and I needed a way to print out course materials without taking out a loan for ink cartridges. I have had it almost a year and I enjoy it. It set up easy, doesn't take up much space (no more than my Lexmark 5200 series inkject) and handles the tasks I throw at it just fine. When printing in black and white, the printer zips along while color is a little slower. Some complain of the initial warm up time, but working in an office with laser printers, this the Samsung is quicker.
Here's the trick. Print your day-to-day stuff in black and white. It is cheaper to replace 1 cartridge than 4. Save the color for something important. In 10 months of moderately heavy printing, I am just now being warned to replace the b&w toner while the 3 color cartridges are at 80%.
It prints photos OK but is more geared towards presentation materials and documents. This is not a photo printer - I kept my lexmark injet for that.
My only wish is that it had a larger paper tray. It holds about 150 sheets which ALWAYS runs out in the middle of a job.Get more detail about Samsung CLP-315 Color Laser Printer.
