+ Easy to install. I used the ethernet cable first and then went wireless. I did find this a little tricky as I was unsure about how to do it but once I found the device web page I just followed the instructions.

- I don't particularly like the papertray as it sticks out the front of the printer. I often print on letterheaded paper and then on plain as a hard copy and it is a bit of a pain removing the papertray to change paper rather than just inserting it. I wouldn't let this put you off buying this machine.

+ Looks great. Compact. Easy to install. Reasonably quiet. I only switch it on when printing is needed. The response time is surprisingly fast. Wireless printing is amazingly quick. Tested with colour photograph to just to determine what quality level. I can say 8 out of 10 for photograph without red. The test print from Samsung is full of different shade of red. I give it 6 out of 10.

- Toner cartridges are quite expensive. The cost is equivalent to another unit of the same printer.

Score 9.0/10

+ East to set up as standalone. Haven't tried the wireless set up yet. Easy to change cartridges and friendly interface.

- Colour not as bright as could be but still need to experiment with other papers. ()I've been using up very cheap stuff). Cartridges expensive but haven't had to buy any yet.

+ Cheap, Wireless, and good colour printing

- Takes AGES to spool a full colour print to it - especially if it's high resolution. Could seriously do with more on-board memory...

+ Innovative new idea, great being wireless

- Frustrating to set up as software/drivers abit dodgy. I could not have set it up without some IT knowledge of IP addresses. This was the second printer as first one, bought elsewhere, had a non functioning Wireless card. Teething problems need to be sorted making process to install more streamlined.

- Not the fastest at producing first print and has limited media options.
