ML1210 12ppm Laser 600dpi 66mhz 8mb Ieee1284

 

WHAT'S HOT: For a low price of $199, the Samsung ML-1210 presents buyers with a bargain. It produces reasonably clean black text that looks better at larger sizes, and also does a very nice job on narrow parallel lines. The ML-1210 comes in a stylized,...

This laser printer from Samsung hits the sweet spot for home office users in terms of price.

Samsung ML-1210

 

The Samsung ML-1210 scores a bit better than the Lexmark E210 on output quality. Text is crisp enough to be easily readable even at 5 points for some fonts. As with the Lexmark printer, lines are clear in graphics and black fills are solid. Again,...

Samsung ML-1210 Laser Printer Review

 

With a resolution of 600dpi and an average toner life span of 2,500 pages (at 5%) it makes an attractive option for the home.

Printers are one of the few computer peripherals which carry a continued cost of ownership. Unlike scanners and speaker systems, printers require cartridges to regularly be replaced. The cost of toner divided by the number of pages (at 5% coverage)...

HardwareCentral - Samsung ML-1210 Laser Printer Review.

 

It's also one of our few gripes about the ML-1210: While a refill toner cartridge (about $70) is rated for 2,500 pages of normal printing, hitting the two-C-note target obliged Samsung to put a cheap starter cartridge, good for only 1,000 pages, in the...

Samsung ML-1210 Laser Printer Review

 

Except for the toner-save button, the only controls on the printer itself are the handy-dandy one-page demo-printout button (also used to start each page of a manual-feed job) and a button to cancel a job in progress. Tapping the latter also reprints...

Samsung ML-1210 Laser Printer: Jaguar Users Beware, Thumbs Up for Everyone Else

 

The Samsung ML-1210 is a very fine, very cheap laser printer. It uses an upright feed and upright output tray so it's very compact (with a penalty that it extends upward quite a bit), it prints very quickly, the toner cartridges last a very long time,...

compact, fast, quiet, high quality prints, separate envelope and paper feeds, pretty good cost/page

no Jaguar drivers, can take a few seconds to warm up, terrible support website

Quality laser printing at a budget price

 

I bought this printer in September and have been printing happily for four months now.

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Excellent inexpensive text printer

 

I have owned this printer for 7 months. The 'demo' toner cartridge that comes with the printer is supposed to last 1500 pages. I always have the 'toner saver' feature turned on, and have already printed over 2000 pages on this first cartridge. A...

Excellent text printing, longlasting toner, no paper jams ever, small footprint, separate envelope feeder

30 second warmup from sleep mode

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Good laser printer on a budget

 

The biggest point in favor of this printer is that (when I was researching, in Oct 2001 time frame), this was the only affordable laser printer. It is a simple laser printer with very impressive prints. I have not explored its gray-scale, image...

Solid software/drivers ; very very fast

Occasional black streaks (1 page in 50) ; case and connectors are flimsy
