Samsung CLX-3170FN
$590.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Setup is fairly easy, instructions are clear and straight forward. Reasonably compact for the number of functions it performs. All components feel solid and sturdy, nothing flimsy anywhere on it.
The Cons:Not capable of realistic color printing. After being used for awhile paper tends to get jammed. Generates a lot of heat, need to ensure the area is ventilated.

#samsung_clx_3170fn I have been trying to get help from Samsung for days (someone will call me back). I have been trying to get the scan to email working and was told that it's hard enough to get scanning to work over the network and that the scan to email only works about 10% of the time. So I asked the service tech, if he was telling me this is defective software and he said I am not saying that but you can.
What a waste of money.

#samsung_clx_3170fn This is the worst printer I have ever owned and I haave owned many.
It gets so hot, I am almost afraid the paper will catch on fire. Now that is hot!!
This printer eats toner. It get more than 500 copies from a cartridge.
Makes the paper so static it clings together and misfeeds.
