:. Introduction .:

When looking for a laser printer, I pretty much thought the standard black and white ones were all the same. That is until I set my eyes on the new Samsung ML-1750 Laser Printer. This thing is absolutely gorgeous. It is small, quiet, and looks stylish with an Apple Computer resemblance. It not only looks good, it performs on a grand scale.

The ML-1750 Laser Printer is Energy Star compliant, which will save you quite a bit of money over the years, and it also features a 'toner save' option to conserve, yet still print in great with less toner.

The printer is a snap to setup as well. Out of the box, detailed instructions can make setting the printer up a five minute process. The quick set up guide illustrates how to install the toner into the unit: it took me 10 seconds!

The printer is also Energy Star compliant and will not waste electricity like many others do. It also has a special toner-saving feature that can reduce toner usage by 30% and save money. Overall, the ML-1750 can save some serious cash in a relatively short period of time.

The design is very simple, in fact I have never seen a more simple laser printer, or any other printer, that can be set up in under one minute. The toner cartridge is inserted at the front and so is the paper. Drawn diagrams are pasted on the openings to show what direction to insert the cartridge.

Another nice feature is the manual paper feed that lets you insert envelopes and other papers that do not fit in the paper tray. This is great for printing personalized envelopes or occasion cards.

The ML-1750 is also USB compatible and INSERT PORT ID. However, it does not include a USB cable, which is somewhat surprising because many high end printers such as this should include everything you need to get connected.

After I found a spare USB cable, I plugged the printer in and XP automatically installed Samsung software without me having to insert the CD. I noticed that this printer takes about 6-12 seconds to warm up before doing a print job, which is normal for a laser printer.

After printing a few documents and pictures, I was amazed how quickly and quietly everything printed. The quality of the printing is also superb, you can print shipping labels and other useful home office documents that require precision printing.

There are never streaks left on a printing job, this being common to inkjet and lower-quality laser printers. I found that even when using the toner saving feature, quality of printing was not sacrificed. This is great because toner can be saved to increase the yield by 2 or more times!

This printer has evolved to make things simple. There is only one area where the printer has an opening, unlike others that have three or
more openings. To keep things more simple, only one cartridge is required for the printer. On the unit, one large silver button is there to cancel a print job.

Simply put, there is no other printer like this on the market because its a work horse and is simpler that any printers from any printing category.

After waiting for the ML-1750 to warm up (about 6-14sec), it began to print quietly and quickly. It is able to print @ about 8 ppm's without using the toner save feature. With toner save, the speed can increase to approximately 12 ppm. Both tests were performed on the same word documents, which included 5 thumbnails pictures and text.

With the included software, numerous options are available to customize printing jobs and printer sharing. In fact, I rarely have seen such depth in printing software, especially for a monochrome laser unit.

For the price this printer is offered for, I couldn't find another printer that performed nearly as good as the ML-1750.
