I was one of those sucker that got sucked in because of it’s cheap price. I bought the CLP-300 and I’m sure this model is no different. I had major paper jam on this trash 1 every 3 paper. It was in the shop and got worst. After a year (out of warranty), it went to the trash. I learned my lesson and only buy a Brother from now on. Of all printers, I had good luck with Brother printers as far reliablity and No Paper Jam!!. Don’t buy any printer that is Samsung. You do get what you pay for!

The quoted ‘normal retail’ prices of 350ish to 425ish are $150 to $225 OVER the manufacturer’s full retail price. Who’s checking these retailers? BuyNow’s ‘bargain’ price is still $50 over full retail…
Sad, really, sad Amazon…

I bought the clx-3175fn which has an identical printing engine to the clp-315 and I have posted my review on Amazon. See it to learn about flickering lights, the burning smell and how fast it goes through toner.

It’s all about the ink mostly. This machine is HARD to figure how to get the ink replacements. The site online doesn’t begin to explain. There are letters that are confusing as to wether you have the right model or cartridge. This is really difficult to figure the ink out on the Samsung site. The printer is okay but cut off a lot of things out of my pages. I’m not sure why if it’s the pc software or the printer. It runs well and prints nicely but not easy to learn printers. Really I wanted a laser and got this in impulse. I would go back to HP if I had to buy again because they are set up better.

Bought this printer over other cheaper laser printers because of it’s compact size and cheaper cartridges. Oops.
The footprint on this is actually 3.5″ longer than what it advertises, because the paper tray is not flush with the printer when filled with paper. That was the first strike.
The print quality on color — the whole reason I bought, you know, a color printer — is dismal. Just sad. Jagged edges, colors appearing randomly along otherwise pristine lines you name it. In my model, right out of the box, the upper right part of the page was faded. Strikes two through five thousand, in my book.
Like another review mentioned, this printer made our lights flicker even when not printing. My husband had a headache from the improptu rave lighting after a short time, which by that time we had already decided to box the thing up and take it back.
I played around with the print and color and quality and page settings, and found an option called “fine lines” or something of that sort… that actually made everything MORE BLURRY. Sorry, what?
Installation was easy, sure, but so is slicing your hand open when chopping onions; just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it’s beneficial.
I took a gamble on this printer, which is very unlike me, and I now remember why I don’t make gambles on purchases relevant to my (small) business.
Don’t waste your time or money. I’m going to purchase instead the Brother HL Series HL-4040CN, which while more expensive and quite a bit larger, will actually give me high quality color laser prints from the samples I’ve seen.
