      This wouldn't be a bad deal if it had bulk toner refills available but thus far it doesn't look like ebay or others carry them. Anyone know if it uses a prom chip for cartridge ID? If so then you're left buying new or remanufactured cartridges which doesn't seem to be any cheaper per page than for their less expensive or more expensive printers - even more expensive since some of the others can take bulk toner without a new chip and/or chips are available for some others.

      Accepts 5K page high-yield cartridge and a higher duty cycle than the cheapies without being a huge printer (14.3"W x 14.5"D x 8.3"H), though I think Samsung is going the wrong direction in making their printers smaller, do you really care how short it is rather than width or height? Granted, bigger does tend to mean sturdier all else equal but with the short height it has to have a tighter paper path so it'll curl pages more and be less accepting of thicker paper stock.
