I wasn't exactly punished or even chastised, but still.

At any rate, it seems like most of the stores are out by now. Check on your own now, I am done with it. I won't be working again till next sunday anyhow.

Enjoy the printers everyone. It has been fun.

Thanks ex! (I vote thread of the year!) and screw the management. You got a lot of people into their store who probably bought toner and other things while they were they checking out....NOT!

I guess they were right, you do suck! ........j/k

:beer:

Thanks man! :beer:

a nice plus is that samsung has awesome CUPS support (linux/unix printing FYI) and this print works awesome with my ubuntu desktop.

:thumbsup:

Found two of the printers today......and located 3 more. And, unbelievably, found two toner replacement cartridges for $20.01 each on clearance, on their second markdown....they'd already been marked down to $40.01 but neither sold.

Awesome.

BTW....thanks for the heads up on this!

 

[deepinya]

Im surprised people are still finding these in stock. Is OD getting shipments on these still?

 

[gibster]

SKUs on the toner, anyone?

Actually, I also wonder how to tell if they have them on clearance - the couple I called had them, but for regular $59.99 price...

The price is now $119. The deal is dead folks.

I just wanted to say thanks again. These were not even on display at my store. They had them in the stock room. Even the display had been put back into its box and resealed to be sold.


One question that might be odd... I've never owned a laser printer. I'm going to hook this Samsung up on my router to share it with all the computers in the house. Should I leave the printer on 24/7, or shut it off when not in use like my inkjet? Right now my inkjet is hooked up to a computer thats used all the time, and we just turn it on and off as needed. Not sure if this is what I should do for the laser, or just leave it on all the time.

You're welcome.

We leave our networked laser printer on all the time. Have been. for years now.

Back in stock, for $119.99.

Strange thing is store where I ordered it from had it in stoc, 6/16. None found when I was ready to pick up. Now my status changed from ready to fill to Deleted-no info/no resp. I wonder if I can complain, bring my order printout.

I have not opened mine up yet, but do I just plug it into my WRT54G router and then follow steps 1-4 from the following link:?

I hope there are good instructions for the network aspects

finally got it for 39.99 and added the $10 extended warranty (well worth it since shipping this thing could be expensive).

thanks!

HOw? the price is 119 now.

edit:

I'd be upset if you oculd still buy it for that price. I just bought the craptacular Canon MF4270. I bought it a few months ago, but my gf and I returned it when we found out you could not scan over the network (Seriously...did you need to cut cost that much???). Well, we really need a printer, so we had to buy it because we did not like any other All in one. Would have been nice if i could buy this and use it until better all in ones came out.

If it is like any other networkable printer, you can just plug it into the router, wait about 1 minute (needs to find IP address) and install the drivers.

I have heard that some printer software will count the number of print jobs and limit your printing at a certain point so it is sometimes not a good idea to install the software. Does anyone know if this printer software has such an issue. Is there a native driver that can be installed without the software? Or is the software needed for the network capabilities?

yeah, lots of places do this to make sure no one sends a 500 page book to the public printer. I never heard of it come from the drivers (it usually a software package that monitors it), but it may be an option on more office oriented workhouse printers.

I was thinking more along the way of for example 5000 print jobs and the printer either stops printing or does not print as fast (not because you are out of toner but because the software is programmed to do it) and so you have to go out and buy new toner even though your toner is fine.

I got it price adjusted last week but didnt want to up an 8 day old thread just to point that out.

BTW- This printer is awesome. Double sided prints are fast and the print quality blows away my HP laserjet. I just love being able to print from any of my computers/laptops.
