is double-sided printing risky?

[Ch3w33]

I was recently warned by a friend to be very cautious of buying lower-end printers that do automatic double-sided printers (such as the Samsung ML-2550). His concern is that the mechanisms for performing automatic double-sided printing tend to be one of the first things to break, and that on a less expensive model, the chances would be even greater that the mechanism would prove to be short-lived. Does anyone have any personal experience in this area that you'd like to share?

Thank you.

Why would the duplexer be made to a lesser standard than the rest of the paper path?

Sounds like FUD to me.

its a sub $300 laser printer who cares if it breaks after the warranty, you just get a new one

The duplexer in my Canon iP4000 is working just great, and is very convenient to have. :thumbsup:
