USB 1.1? junk!
This is a rebranded samsung.
USB 1.1 is perfectly fine. You hardly need more than 1mb/s for printing.
On B&W lasers, older (including if it means going back to USB1) is better UNLESS your primary need is printing photorealistic grayscale pictures which newer models do a little better. Each successive generation of printer they looked to economize the build, then make more money off toner cartridges, and make toner cartridges lower capacity.
They also started implementing cartridge fuses and microchips to thwart 3rd party and/or user refilled cartridges. At some point, Samsung started building in the capability to use a fuse towards this end, and Dell implemented the feature while the otherwise identical Samsung printers didn't so you could use Dell cartridges in either branded printer but not the Samsung or 3rd party cartridges or bulk-toner-refill the cartridge in the Dell.
Where does this printer sit in that timeline? I don't remember, but close to the switch to using a fuse or chip so you might want to research that if it matters to you. It "appears", based on the following link that this model came after they started chipping them, but at least there are 3rd parties selling chip and bulk toner so while you end up paying an extra $10 every time for the 3rd party chip (it may only remember a certain small # of chips so you only end up needing roughly 4 chips in total and can cycle them and it will forget the oldest one it had in the printer memory) it still beats paying $50 every time... for a mere 2500 pages.
