Samsung Xpress M2070W Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer

Comment

This printer died less than a year after a bought it. Never could get the wireless to work properly and it just stopped working one day. After several frustrating sessions trying to keep this piece of junk working I gave up. I used it for target practice and replaced it with another brand.

We returned it because when we turned it on it said paper jam, when we opened it up there was no paper there and we tried several times to release it with no success

This is a bad printer. The screen is hard to read. The functions seem to change from day to day. The feed tray is small and easily causes paper jams. Too bad my hate did not mature early enough for refund. A waste of money.

I bought mine from Big Blue retailer in 2016, on clearance, for about 10% of current listed price. At the time, was running a 2.4g only router, and all worked well. After being kept in storage for nearly a year, decided to bring it out and put back into service. First Plus: It stores very well, with Toner Cartridge left in place, not climate controlled, in box to keep dust/dirt/bugs/etc out of it. I prefer my AIO inkjet, but since dont print often, got tired of cleaning printhead and such. Re-enter the M2070W. It does NOT have an ethernet port on it, there is a blank, but nothing behind it. So, only option for wireless is to use WPS or connect your computer to the DirectWireless for configuration / use. If you are running modern networking equipment, split bands, ACM, etc, this printer will give you fits. Though the inkjet is 2.4g only as well, it was able to connect to the router without issues. The M2070W however, does not. At all. The Easy Printer Setup utility tries to, but is unsuccessful. Tried to update firmware, but the USB was unusable for whatever reason. Computer would see it, but could not communicate through it. Probably timing errors causing garbage on the pages. Ended up resetting printer (make sure its on first... Then Up Down Left Right Ok Stop Up Ok is sequence), which allowed USB to come alive. Updated firmware, probably lost ability to use 3rd party toner, and still same networking problems. My solutions were: 1) Use DirectWireless whenever I wanted to print. Doable for as little as I print, but absolutely sucks with a phone. 2) Use an older router configured in Bridge Mode and plugged into main router to create a unique 2.4g 802.11b environment. It works, but is a potential security issue, additional equipment, cant keep routers too close, additional cable. Not the best, but worked. 3) My router is a Linksys WRT3200ACM using OpenWRT firmware. I was able to create another interface to Radio1, 2.4G 802.11b environment, and turned on MAC filtering just to add the printer. Works very smoothly, not sure if can do using OEM firmware. Would I buy this printer again? Perhaps. If I still had the same older network hardware, then absolutely. It works fantastic, though not sure why the USB quit working. I suspect that a bug crept into the NVRAM on the printer itself in just the right place. Knowing now the problems I went through, I cannot recommend it for a regular person to try and install onto their network. Many hoops had to be jumped through. I finally was successful, given my limited knowledge for the router and its settings. HP tech support is the absolute pits! They dont listen to what you are saying, try and introduce their own "problem" to fit yours. Just proves they are reading from a sheet. They wanted $19.99 to show me how to reset the NVRAM on the printer... The fact that HP supports it now is more than enough reason now to ever buy another one again. But, so far, this one has done great. Original D111S toner cartridge is now showing 54% toner left with 223 impressions made. So, the toner cart that comes with it is probably only rated for 500 pages or so. And I dont know yet if I am able to use aftermarket carts since firmware was updated. Oh yeah, NFC with this printer also sucks. Dont even try it, at least not with a LG V20 phone. Bad Bad Bad, but might be phone also.

stupid installation process. very long warm up time when you first boot up the printer. The box seems like opened before. I guess I got one somebody returned.

Could not load drivers from the CD for Windows 7 Home Premium. Had to go on internet to find drivers that would work. CD instructions not very good. After finally getting it to work, love the print quality.

This is my 2nd M2070W/XAA as I gave my 1st to my son. This printer works fine with my Linux box and the Samsung driver downloaded from the Samsung support site.
