Summary: Great Printer
Comment: Not sure what happened to Jazzy from Boise, but...here is my story. I bought this printer for $17*.** from Office*****, got the printer home, unpackaged it, put in toner, plugged in network cable, printed a demo/test page by holding in the "online" button and then releasing it, installed the network setup cd, software autoplayed, software saw my printer immmediately, software finished, printer installed perfectly. IP address was automated based on my network and router settings. Simple. Extremely fast, brilliant colors, detailed photos somewhat grainy, but remember, this is not a photo printer...so the resolution is lacking in that area just a little. Over all for the price...great printer, just FYI, I would suggest either refilling your own toner cartridges or buying refurbished...otherwise they are just under $13* each new at OD.

Summary: Network setup a snap if you do it the right way.
Comment: I've only had this printer for a few days and I agree that the documentation on this printer is poor. However all that is required to set this printer up on a wired LAN is to install the printer driver from the installation CD on each PC on your network. There is no need to use the included network utilities unless you want to change the IP settings on the printer, itself. Default is DHCP, and my printer was assigned an IP address by my router with no issues.
Choose 'typical network set-up' (second choice) and your printer will be found. Check the box and drivers will be installed and you are done.
The printer does emit a heated plastic smell upon power-up, but it is very quiet at idle and the smell has mitigated significantly over the last two days.

Summary: Tricky network setup
Comment: There is virtually no useful documentation on how to setup the printer in a networked environment. There isn't much information on the web either. So after 3 hours of experimenting, here's a how-to guide to benefit someone else who may be on the same path. After connecting the printer to a LAN access point, pop in the 'Network utilities' CD and install both utilities in there (setIP and another one that I can't remember the name). Pull up your router's dhcp configuration and take note of valid, assignable dhcp IPs. Run SetIP. You won't see your printer. Click on the add printer button. Fill in the MAC (from printout from clp600n). For IP/Gateway, use a valid dhcp IP noted above. Subnet mask stays the same. After this, you should be able to get communication between the printer and SetIP. Now pop in the printer software CD and install the drivers. The rest should be a breeze. I'm not sure what happens if the dynamic IP changes so to preempt any nasty surprises, you might want to block your router from assigning out that IP to other access points. You can do that in your router settings. Hope that helps!

Summary: So far, so good...
Comment: I have been looking for a laser printer for my home office for while, but wasn't ready to spend $450+. This printer was on sale at a major office supply chain for under $200 so I thought, why not? There is a plastic-y smell when printing, as mentioned by another reviewer, but I was assured by a very helpful customer service rep. at Samsung that it would go away. I had no trouble setting up the software for my Mac. I'm a graphic designer and was concerned about print quality - the color seems to be quite accurate, though the detail/solid color coverage does look a bit "grainy". Warm-up and printing speed are quick. There is an 1-year ON SITE warranty. For the price I paid I feel like it's a good, maybe great, value.

Summary: Works fine...
Comment: This printer is working fine as advertised. The network setup was easy after my firewall software was told that printer was to be trusted! An interesting plus is the one year ON SITE warranty.
