does its job well and cheaply, but slow........2007-12-28
I purchased the CLP-510 about 6 months ago. I occasionally use it to print photos, but usually it is web pages which are mostly black but some color. I also print things like google maps. I also purchased the network card accessory, in order to set this printer up as a network printer.
Pros: Good color, cheap, duplexing (many printers that cost twice this much don't do that). I have had none of the blurriness reported by other people.
Cons: takes a while to start printing, the labels I tried to print on did not feed (they were laser approved labels, but too thick), takes up a lot of desk space.
Overall, a good value printer for a home user or home office.
Don't buy things from this supplier.......2007-05-17
The printer was supposed to be refurbished, and it just didn't work. I had to write 4 emails and wait about a month before I got a response and my money back.
Unhappy customer........2007-03-25
After I receipt the printer, set up and turn on. I bought the defective repubish unit. I didn't want to sent 80 pound to post office and spent extra $90 on it for repair. what can i do? I learn that I will never buy on line again unless seller shall paid fee for their poor quality.
Delighted with printer.......2007-03-21
I have used this printer for many jobs since purchasing it. It has performed well and is faster than my previous one. It warms up quickly and although a little noisy is less so that an older printer. The colors are excellent and the type is crisp and clear. I have used it for preparing training materials and it performs very well with both text and diagrams. I am delighted with this purchase
Great Printer, Noisy, Expensive Consumables.......2007-02-21
This printer is a steal at the price. The color copies are great. It's way too loud, though--loud enough to be very distracting in a modest-sized room. I've replaced the four cartridges once so far--it's delivered with undersized ones. They are surprisingly pricey--the total for the four comes close to the cost of the printer.
Notwithstanding all of that, it works well (double-sided copies, even) and the price was right.

Prints Well, Too Expensive to Maintain.......2007-05-17
We've had this printer in our office for 12 months and now it is no longer able to be used because the transfer belt and imaging unit have reached their predetermined copy limit. Even though they work just fine, after x amount of prints they stop working. It costs $300-$500 to replace these parts. What a joke. We even bought an extended warranty and we were sent an even more used printer without the parts in question! They're considered consumable and aren't covered by the warranties at all. I would NOT recommend buying this printer.
Problematic Printer.......2006-12-15
I have this printer for over 8 months now, and this printer has problems. The sensor that detects waste toner level is weak for many of the CLP-510 printers, causing it to report an error that waste toner bin needs to be replaced before it would print again. Even if the sensor is not weak, the waste toner bin itself is poorly designed where when waste toner goes in it, it gets on the section of the bin where the sensor detects the bin as full. I clean the bin, but it would detect it as full soon again after 50 prints. The waste toner is suppose to lasts for over 1,000 prints.
Search the internet for "CLP-510 Waste Toner Problems" for more info.
Other than that, text prints looks good. Color prints are good enough for non-business use and non-photo prints. I tried to print photos on photo paper, but after the 5th one in a roll, I think the printer got too hot that the toners wouldn't stay on the photo papers. Maybe before it was the thickness and the smoothness of the paper has something to do with it too. Now the rollers in the printer are dirty and leaves a black spot on my prints.
Another problem, it jams more than I would like. About once every 20 prints.
My advice, DO NOT BUY it. It seems like a great printer the first 2 or 3 months, after that, it's problem after problem.
Print Quality and paper weight.......2006-10-26
We've been using these printers at work for 2 years now. While the manual does indeed state 24lb paper for duplex printing, we've found that we get excellent print quality in duplex using Office Depot's 28lb 115 bright laser paper. It does the best job we've seen.
poor and bad support of mediocre product.......2006-04-25
Purchased this for a networked small office environment (three users). When we had print quality issues a few months after installation our young secretary called support and was told to clean the drum with a paper towel. That's it! She took it out and damaged it in the light. Why would tech support tell you to take the drum out to clean it and not warn you about exposure to light? More calls and more of the same poor help. At their suggestion, she spent $400 on new cartridges, to no avail. Now they want us to ship it back to CA from New England.
All we have done is sink money into this thing! Do I now want to invest in a new drum? I used a B&W HP Laserjet for many years, with low maintenance and few problems. If you don't know how to properly maintain it, you are doomed!
A follow-up: I replaced the drum and cleaned everything thoroughly. The printer then performed satisfactorily. Don't depend on tech support to give you good advice and don't get a laserjet if you can't or won't do the maintenance.
Thrilled with the results on 20-24lb paper.......2005-12-16
Thrilled with the results on 20-24lb paper
I found the Samsung CLP-510N to be a great bargain, but only for 20-24lb paper. This is what I bought it for. What can you expect for $300? (from other site) This is fantastic for $300. I see crystal clear, colorful, well-defined print. I even printed an 8X10 photo of an electronics printed circuit board with components on it and found the quality excelent at default normal resolution setting. But I would not expect true old-fashioned optical printed photo quality from like a portrait photo, from a $300 laser printer, on any paper. I would be proud of the print quality to all my customers, but I do not print photos for them. Among other things like letters and agreements, and service reports; I print controller programming "ladder-diagrams" in color, all are crisp, clean, and impressive.
I noticed that a couple of CNET revewiers knocked it down because "The photo quality is awful, extremely grainy and jagged on one, a second printed photo had obvious blotches, "lines" and grain." Well, do your homework and download the printer manual before buying it. The manual clearly states on page E-5 ("Supported Sizes of Paper"):
"* 60 to 90g/m2 bond (16 to 24lb) for single-sided printing
* 75 to 90 g/m2 bond (20 to 24lb) for duplex printing"
And for the manual feeder ("Multi-purpose tray"):
"60 to 163g/m2 bond (16 to 43lb)"
Paper type is very important in a printer. I'd wager a weeks pay that said reveiwers were using paper heavier than 24lb. However, I will knock Samsung down half a point for failing to note this on their datasheet pdf, but only half a point because of the cheap price. Have you seen any photo paper 20-24lb? No. This printer is not for photos. I tried 58lb HP glossy laser photo paper in it, it did not work, the toner was not fused to the paper. This may cause a mess in there, and perhaps the other reveiwers tried this too much causing errant ink on subsequent 20-24lb paper as well!
I could not regester to log on to CNET to submit my review, they said it was my cookie settings, but even when I turned my security settings to "low" I could not. Their loss not mine.
One more thing to note, though, if you turn on duplexing, in the printer menu or in the software, the printer will run two passes whether or not you are printing a single page. This slows down the print rate considerably. What's more, I found that when you open an application, select print, and change the "print preferences" duplexing option, most apps will print with the original options instead, ignoring the duplex on-or-off change you just made. So set your options before opening the app, and close the app to change them again. This was true with both Win98 SP2 and WinXP SP2. So I knock another half point off for this, only half because of the cheap price.
You will not get $3,000 printer results from this printer, if you need to print on a variety of paper types like glossy photo paper and card stock, then you must expect to pay a premium price for your laser printer (of another more-expensive brand). Again, this printer prints much better than I expected for $300, and has a built-in duplexer to boot. Don't buy a Kia and expect performance like a Caddilac.
