I do most of my paper work on a inkjet printer. It works pretty well for few sheets, but my papers now require 150 sheets, and it was a pain waiting for them to print.
I was trying to find a fast laser printer but not expensive, and after a lot of research I decided to give Samsung a try... wow... I am surprised, the printer is much faster than I was expecting.
It does not even take too long to start printing, actually its warm up time is faster than my inkjet's.
I am pretty happy with this printer, and I already checked its toner price - and it's not expensive! :)

I read some reviews where people were complaining about the fact this printer consumes too much energy, as an electronic engineer, I decided to test and here is the result:
On the driver setup you have an option to select the SAVE ENERGY mode starting on 5 minutes of idle time, 10 minutes, 15, etc... I set mine to 5 minutes. I put a WATTIMETER to check the printer consumption, and here is what I found out... When printing the printer consumes between 500W and 750W... when the printer is on the first 5 minutes of idle time, it consumes about 5W and every 20 seconds it goes to 500W during 1 second and then go back to 4W. After the 5 minutes past, it keeps consuming 4W forever until you decide to print something.
If you have too many things on the same wire, you may experience blinkings on your lights when the printer goes to 500W.
