Good Points

Easy install. Full printer panel control. Also compatible with Win98, 2000, OS9 and OSX 10.2.


Bad Points

Bulky (but unnecessary) Win driver. Hand-on review, Not tested in the long run.


General Comments

This is a compatibility report. I had this printer for only two days. General note: you can do most settings on the printer panel, which is great. Even duplexing can be switched on with the press of a button. Windows 98SE compatibility. If like me you're looking for a network printer that works with win 98se, this is a good choice. Install the Samsung driver, and it'll install a TCP/IP printer port (which is otherwise not included in W98) and all works very well (multi page, duplex, watermark,...). Software note: you don't need the Smart Panel, Set IP or anything. You can do everything from the Printer panel. Gripe: the driver is 80Mb and installs 131Mb in /Program Files AND 131Mb in /Windows, though it seems both are useless (except for uninstall or further install) because the actual system files are all put in /Windows/System. Not brilliant. Many printers are only compatible with OSX10.3 or better. This one IS compatible with 10.2 but it will only work with the LRP mode. You don't need any driver, just add a network printer using the Laser writer general profile and it'll Just Work over the network. You can STILL use the duplex by pressing the printer panel button, and use multi page. You lose mostly the advanced PS font capabilities.
