Samsung SCX-3405FW

The Samsung SCX-3405FW mono laser MFP fits equally well as a shared printer in a micro office or a personal printer in any size office.

Prints, scans, faxes, and copies. Reasonably high-quality text and graphics. Automatic document feeder. Small size

No duplexer, even as an option. Low paper capacity

Review: Samsung SCX 3405FW Multifunction Laser Printer

Samsung's bare-bones laser MFP gets the small-office job done.

In all, the Samsung SCX 3405FW performed well enough, but took longer and was more involved to set up than service resellers would probably like. But for $199, this entry-level laser MFP performed up to spec and turned out good quality printouts.

Works Horribly

None

This printer has given me nothing but problems for most of the time I have owned it. The first problem was that it won't print double sided on a Mac unless you manually feed it, which is a real pain for pdfs with multiple pages. That wasn't revealed in...

Works as expected

Not sure why others are complaining about. Connecting the printer to my wireless network was easy and the drivers (downloaded from Samsung's website) work just fine on two Windows 7 64-bit computers without problems. Android devices and Ubuntu devices...

Monochrome laser printer with copier/scanner at a low cost. Print quality is just as I expected. Wireless connectivity

Toner costs are not as low as the Brother brand, but I knew that before buying ; Paper tray is exposed, but I knew that before buying
