Samsung CLX-4195FW

Utterly horrible to use – I bought this as it seemed to be a good price for a colour laser printer and multifunction centre. I will NEVER buy another Samsung printer. If all you ever want to do is print simple things in full colour, and you don't care too much about layout or user interface, this would probably be fine. However, if you ever print things that you have laid out yourself, or need to tweak the process, or even just want to print stuff in black and white to save toner, forget it. This thing has cost me reams of paper and several toner cartridges through its HIGHLY FRUSTRATING, clunky, complicated and generally obstructive user interface.

I won't go into too much of the detail, but let me just tell you that it ALWAYS tries to print everything in full colour and portrait. It has a bunch of 'eco' and 'toner save' settings, but you literally need to go into the printer settings EVERY TIME you go to print something, and tell it to use those settings. They won't stick though, so the next time you hit print you'll get a nice expensive full colour printout, and your preferred landscape/portrait layout will be screwed up by whatever the printer decides it wants to do.

Forget the preview window, it adds a massive border and messes around with the orientation again. Oh, and forget printing on both sides, too, because it curls the paper so badly you'll get a paper jam when you try to print the second side (I've tried multiple paper brands with the same result).

Basically, Samsung clearly have no idea how to make a printer that simply does what you want it to do. It gets in the way and changes your settings to what it thinks you should be using, and it will have you tearing your hair out as you try to find a way to get your preferred default behaviour to stick. Let me save you the trouble - you won't succeed. It's 'default' is ineditable and forces itself to the top of the list every time you print.

My advice - stick to a Brother or HP, especially if you have any experience printing things in an office environment, as they will at least do what they are told and remember your preferences. This Samsung is not for you.
