Hello ALL:

I see this printer now for $79.95 after rebates everywhere. I now have
an HP IIIP and it works well...slow, but well.

I can use a second printer and I am sick of throwing out Dried Out
Lexmark Z51 Inkjet Ink! I see some say this Samsung is NG as it is
"only" 600dpi and not 1200 dpi. True, but my HP is only 300 dpi. Also,
the HP is 4 PPM and this is 17 PPM.

Some love this printer and others say it is very bad...can't even read
text!

Some say that paper curls so much going thru it that printing on 2
sides does not work. Others say "dude...stop using cheap paper"

I know for this price it will not be perfect, but just how bad is it,
and will it be at least as good (maybe faster)than my old HP III-P,
and free of paper jams?

Of course others say the Brother 1440 is better but I like the way the
Samsung has the toner and drum as one. I think that is why my 13+ year
old HP is doing so well. I just need a second printer.

TIA, for any help

I have one and am very pleased with it. Let's face it, it doesn't cost much
more than a cartridge!

It's not fancy, but it works fine for my home office. Haven't tried to print
double sided, but I use decent paper and it doesn't curl at all, so it
should be fine. I have mine on a Linksys wireless printer server, so it is
convenient for the whole family.

At this price ... you can't complain!

600dpi is more than enough.

I miss my trusty HP 6L Printer I gave my younger brother. That was a trusty
laser printer.

Thanks Tom. Are you using a USB server then? I have a parallel server so
the ML-1710 will not work on it!

One downside is that the $79 is after big rebates so you have to shell
out $200 now and get the rest back maybe in a couple of months.

If it is reliable then by the time the rebate check comes it would pay for
itself compared to what ink costs for my old canon inkjet.

Just print a text print once a week. My Z52 was banding today because I
hadn't used it in a week, but a quick dab with a damp cloth and a test
print cleared everything up pronto.

Yes, I'm using the Linksys WPS54GU2 print server. It supports two printers,
one USB and one Parallel (handy, since I also have an Epson inkjet). The
only thing I have discovered is that the WPS54GU2 will work either wired or
wireless. When I try to run it wired, it seems to 'forget' that the ML1710
is attached after about 15 minutes. When I run it wireless, it works
flawlessly. Seems silly to run it wirelessly, since it is sitting two feet
from the router, but, hey, it works!

Well, BestBuy has it as one $120 rebate.

It seems strange. Have you asked them what is wrong? I do not have
wireless. I ran cat5e everywhere. :-)
