Customer Rating:  
Summary: Great Printer, but available for less than half this price
Comment: This printer is £64 including delivery onthe Orange Accessories website. The code "bill20" gets you a further 20% off this price, so total cost is just over £50. At THAT price, this is a great printer.

Summary: Shoddy software
Comment: I pride myself on being reasonably computer literate, and originally set this printer up without much fuss. However......when I recently changed ISP and router "what a pain"!!
I also have a Lexmark wireless printer and this took about 3 minutes to reconfigure to the new system............no so the Samsung!
It flattly refused to accept a new IP from the DHCP and refused to open the Sync through web service without the original router. I eventually managed to fluke configuration while trying to reset the unit to factory default. I had to connect the network cable AND a USB cable (not supplied). Then I had to reinstall the printer software and force the sync through to open. Once the sync through was activated resetting was a doddle.
The printer drivers on each computer (one desktop, and two laptops) has had to be fixed via the installed "maintenance" feature on the Samsung programme files. In every case the printer had stopped working.
The printer represents very good value for the price, but the software really is hopeless. I would pay the extra for something more user friendly!

Summary: Slick Samsung ML-1630W
Comment: This printer is utterly awesome, both in style and function, especially when connecting it wirelessly.
Note, I tried to install the latest driver from Samsung webpage but didn't get the printer to work because this driver didn't support the wireless mode. Installing the driver provided on CD made the printer work in no time.

Summary: Samsung ML-1630W Wireless Mono Laser Printer
Comment: Excellent product, very pleased with my purchase...took a while to set up, but relatively easy when I realised that the first step needs to be to connect the printer to the ADSL Hub using the crossover cable supplied, and allow the printer to pick up a DHCP Address, all straight forward after that! I did this on a 3Com Office Connect and a BT Home Hub, need to use WEP encryption though, won't work with WPA or WPA2...

Summary: Easy to set up
Comment: Contrary to previous reviews, the instruction booklet that comes with the printer gave clear instructions for setting up the wireless connection, which works very well with Windows Vista on my Vaio.
Print quality is excellent. It's not the fastest, but for small volumes of home printing is more than adequate. Haven't had it long enough to comment about durability or life of the cartridge.
