Unpacked home he was over the USB port (cable supplied) instantly ready for use. Topp. I thought.
A subsequent attempt to connect to the network via wifi turned out, despite installation via WPA on the router and a rather hope-inspiring connection software that mediates via WiFi Direct between printers and routers, as capital-Bust Out. When then came again to attempt no. One thousand times but connect this was despite statically assigned IP address and other tricks very unstable (with Vodafone Easy Box 802 router).
In short: With me no wireless LAN function with the Samsung. Whether this is now on a device defect, in a unique disharmony between the router and the printer, or in principle is a problem with the printer I can not test for lack of comparison.
Two HP inkjets are meanwhile involved bombproof via WiFi in the otherwise very stable WDS extended network for years and at first attempt.
I've now wired the network run him perforce.
Prints, also in color, are fine. The device is equipped with 1.7 watts in sleep mode.
Orders from the network (also externally via Google Cloud Print, where I could easily sign the printer previously) to wake him reliable. After printing it continues to sleep again. As expected, fine.
The display is only 2 digits monochrome. There is already a spartan exclusive equipment designation.
No comparison to the competition that already exists in the Billigheimern color touchscreen with Internet based application apps comes up (eg HP with Google Docs direct connection for printing and uploading of scanned documents, not to mention the ingenious ePrint, comfortable firmware update by pressing a button, etc ..).
It was striking to me also that the demand for electricity during the warm-up is apparently episodic so high that he repeatedly triggered the RCD (has sensitive personal protection assurance rausgehauen). When an electrical outlet with normal security that was previously no longer observed.
The toner cartridges are supplied of course - as usual even with the competition - only half full (700 sheets). Toner Cartridges (1500 sheets) are in this model very expensive (from 45 per toner color, the set from 180), since there is virtually no competing products of secondary producers for this underdog.
The printer has a capacity of up to 20,000 prints / month, a CPU of 533Mhz and 128MB Ram. Even with these values it can not stain with fame itself.
Conclusion: in the high purchase price (currently proud 270..) (That they could be effective without a foreseeable tendency), the high toner prices, the anachronistic panels and lack of modern Internet-based applications, in my case, even without functioning WiFi I would like to recommend anyone to printer.
One appears with contrast unbeatable: the result of a successful design very compact design of the copier.
Addendum:
after more than 4 weeks, finally is in use and just 110 printings of black toner from the delivery to 78%.
And, like a previous speaker, from stand out was now within one month (!) Already already for the 3rd time (!!!) the error message to replace the imaging unit that you get just by restarting at the unit off again. This is certainly not a quality certificate and the printer is on the spot completely unsuitable as a network printer for the necessary maintenance is done.
In addition, can be on an Apple G5 with PowerPC architecture install under the current MacOS 10.5.8 the Samsung ScannersSoftwarePicture indeed, but crashes this simply by selecting the printer / scanner from.
For PowerPC so it is not even the scan function.
On Intel Macbook with 10.7.5 the software works. It should be mentioned again: at even the cheapest HP printers to work with us all systemübegreifend and reliably from the outset, as it should.
And because you're hoping that possibly a firmware update could create Abhifle, also here only trouble: Firmware Update with Windows PC possible, which is connected either directly via USB cable or via a network to the printer. Here, the wired Netztwerk is obviously not supported ("Networ Error"), but probably only a connection via Wi-Fi or NFC (remember - the integration via WLAN worked here with us with this printer partout NOT). That's it then probably therefore also herewith. Whereby the update apparently only affects the print result, which so far has perfectly with us.
