Samsung SL-M2020W/XAA Wireless Monochrome Printer

After years of using a inkjet printer which I was happy with. I just got tired of buying all that ink. The ink got more expensive and refilling it myself was just not worth my time. Saw another Samsung model printer being promoted on one of the technical blogs I frequent. They were sold out. Amazon was also sold out, for the same price. This Samsung model was "suggested" so I checked out the reviews and decided to purchase for the price given! I also purchased the Samsung toner as well. I know, I know...there are off name brands that were offered cheaper. But for my first time I purchased the Samsung toner. The printer had a toner, setup CD and the USB cord included. The instructions were quite clear and easy to set up. I have a Apple IPhone 6 Plus and an IPad 2. I also have a Dell very, very old laptop. I did not plug in the printer to warm it up as instructed. I inserted the CD and followed the step by step instructions. When it came up to go wireless or USB. There was also a step where you could set up with the USB "temporarily and after setup disconnect USB." I chose that one. Followed every step, there was a point where you "Power on-connect USB" etc. and then at the "Finish." I disconnected the USB from my laptop to the printer. I checked if the Samsung was listed under printers on my Dell laptop and it was! I only had to check it as my "default." Then I checked my IPhone 6+ and there it was after I "searched for printers" and then I printed a test and it worked perfectly! I then checked my IPad2 and again there was the printer! Printed a test page and was successful. I did not download any app into my IPhone or IPad...there was no need too. The Apples just picked the printer up! And as I said before my Dell did the same. The printer is very compact and takes no space at all. It also goes to sleep after a time. But I completely turn it off when I am done using it. And the best part is the "Eco-printing" step that you can use before you print so as to save toner. It prints in grayscale! I was also very satisfied when it prints normally. The black toner works very well. Some reviews have complained on the cost of the toner. But it is not a game stopper for me,12,000 pages vs 300 in black or grayscale.

I did a lot of research for an inexpensive home/mobile use printer that I could use wirelessly! Im happy I came across this one. The printing is fast and professional as stated. The included toner will give you about 500-700 pages before you have to go out and buy your own. Connecting thuan printer to my WiFi router at home! Couldnt have been any easier. It literally took less than 2 minutes. You have the option to connect via your desktop or mobile app. It is SEAMLESS! We have bought this printer for business use, and has not let us down! We are truly happy with this purchase. Recently we noticed, Samsung has a similar color printer to this , and that is prob our next buy. Printing off your phone couldnt be any easier. I have clients come over all the time, and love how easy it is to print off their phones whatever documents they forgot. Shipping was fast... got here in a day ! You wont regret it....

I really like this printer. The print quality is excellent and Im using a generic ink cartridge. The ink cartridge prints about a 1000 pages compared to my desktop printers 3000-6000 pages. Easy setup. I just connected the USB cord, that is included, to my laptop. It also supports WiFi so I can print directly from my phone using the Samsung app. The fold-down paper tray is adjustable to print envelopes. Printer controls are on top and light-up. The power cord completely detaches. The printer is 2 inches longer than a sheet of paper and 7 inches tall. It prints 21ppm. Its as quiet as any home laser printer. I regularly use mine in libraries w/o any complaints or negative staring. I own 4 great laser printers. But having one with me was like carrying a small microwave. Inkjet printers are smaller but they print about 150 pages. If youre lucky they require only 2 inkjet cartridges to print anything, because who looked at the ink cartridges BEFORE buying printer or running out of ink? Plus, laser printing looks so much better than inkjet. One day, I absolutely needed a 22-page document in an hour. I found out the library has a daily 20-page limit. Literally their printers wont print a document if it counts more than 20 pgs or your library card might exceed the daily limit. Fortunately their staff, because they knew me, made an exception by putting their code in the printer. FedEx Office charges nearly 15 cents per page, provided you find parking and there arent long lines. So, one of the best decisions Ive made was buying this printer. PROS: Everything! Price, print quality, well-built, easy use, easy setup, lightweight, size, noise-level, mobility, WiFi, Apple/Android/PC compatible, etc. CONS: No scanner, carrying bag included, color printing, or automatic 2-sided printing. All are easily solvable! Use a mobile scanner app or take a photo. Buy carryon luggage or duffle bag. (Id rather save the money than get a cheap MSRP bag included). Manually flip the paper to print on the other side. Go to FedEx Office to get far superior color printing. Their color printers cost $15,000+ each. Besides 95% of all printing is black and white. Note: HP just released their version of this printer. As near as I can tell, the only difference is theres is all-white. And dont forget to carry paper!

This is an amazing printer that fits most (if not all) of my office needs: 1 - It is small (8.5 x 13.1 x 7 inches) enough that you can elegantly put it anywhere. 2 - It is gorgeous looking and at the same time very discreet (unlike those big do-it-all machines no one can miss). 3 - Works silently enough. 4 - Prints 21 ppm (which is quite fast). 5 - Extremely easy to setup... actually I had it running in less that five minutes. 6 - By far the easiest-to-setup wireless printer Ive ever seen (if you have an iPad, just get the Samsung Mobile Print app from iTunes and thats it!). 7 - Amazing printing quality. Even the eco mode looks great!! 8 - Installing the toner is easy. My only HUGE problem with this printer is the price of the toner. Nowhere I can find it for less than $50. So basically, you are buying a new printer every two toners - which seems to be how those brands make their money nowadays (the printer is cheap, the ink... thats another story - LOL!). The instructions say that one toner lasts for an average of 1000 pages... that is $0,05 per page. Those numbers look horrible to me. ...BUT to be completely honest, those toner prices are in line with all the other models and brands Ive seen. So in the end, you should still pick the printer that suits you best. I would suggest you do some research before buying ANY printer, because what you are getting is a commitment to buy its toners (and thats where your money will systematically be). RECOMMENDED!!
