This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
This is my first personal laser printer and I must say Samsung has achieved the impossible with the CLP-325W.

An excellent quality color laser printer, with the easiest network install ever, and a price that made my mouth water - an amazing trifecta!

Okay, with all that hyperbole out of the way...where do I begin?

1. The wireless install was absolutely painless. I powered on the printer, enabled WPS (Wifi Protected Setup) on my router (Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR3700), and then pressed the WPS button on the printer's console. In less than a minute, my printer was online and a test page rolled out! No hassles with specifying my network SSID or password. This was the first time that I'd used WPS, and was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it went.

2. The software install went just as smoothly. I picked the custom install, opted for the wireless...

2. Very interesting
Compared to color lasers of the past, this one's a champ in size, ease of use, cost and image quality. That said, the Samsung customer service system is ...ah... primitive. As is the cost structure for feeding the thing after purchase. Toner replacement costs and a new image drum exceed the cost of a new one, by about 170%, yet are only acout 160% more images per set. The carts that come in it are good for about 700 images (color). New ones are good for 1000, they say. A full set of CMYK carts is about $220, and a new drum is around $50, if you need it (at about 10000 pix). But a whole new printer is just $150-ish. The math is all &$@%
