Summary: Need more information
Review: The information here is not complete. What kind of warranty is offered? And I can not find the proper cartridges online. If I buy this printer, where do I buy cartridges? There is no link to ask these questions and they are not answered in the online information.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent value for $$$$
Review: The plus side:

1. Excellent value for money. The Samsung ML-1450 is the cheapest printer that you can get in its class... Cheap memory upgrade. 4MB is more than sufficient for an average person printing work. If you want to install Post-Script you need to buy at least 1x8 MB EDO RAM, 72 pin, 60 ns, SIMM (Single in Line Memory Module), non parity stick. ML-1450 has built in 4 Mb RAM and to run Post-Script you need 12 MB of RAM. I bought 1 stick of IBM Single sided 16 MB EDO RAM ...(I haven't try the double sided RAM). If you buy a pair it will be cheaper, but ML-1450 only has 1 slot for EDO stick.
3. Huge tray capacity that can fit 550 pages of A4 size paper. Plus another 100 pages of A4 size paper that you can put on the multipurpose tray. You can also put envelope, letter size paper in this tray.
4.Great software from Samsung. You can print water mark, outlays and multiple pages on 1 paper (up until 16 pages/slides on 1 paper).
5.Easy to setup and networkable. You need to buy USB Hub to use this printer as a network printer. It is cheaper than to buy the ThruPort (Optional 10/100MB base card) from Samsung.

The negative side:

1.It doesn't come with printed manual, Samsung only provide you with the PDF format of the Manual. With this price, I cannot blame them for trying to cut their cost.

2. Finding the right memory for the upgrade is a bit tricky because this type of memory is only used for the old Pentium computers. I suggest you try your local computer flee Market or eBay. You don't need 2 sticks for the upgrade, however the old Pentium motherboard only accept even number of stick in order to work. You will probably have to buy 2 sticks from the seller.
3. I have never used Samsung Laser printer before, I cannot say anything about its reliability in the long run. However, Samsung Australia offers free 3 years on-site warranty for this model and the ML-1650N, which is a great bonus for me.

Summary: Best Value in Class
Review: The reason I choose the Samsung ... is that the Samsung has 4Mb of RAM standard, and PCL6 printer language support vs. 2MB RAM...I recommend downloading the user's manual in PDF format ...before you purchase... I think it is worth the extra money for a flat tray for two reasons: higher capacity and much less susceptibility to jamming.

Summary: Macintosh Users - This printer is the wrong option
Review: This printer needs extra memory to print in 1200x1200dpi, and it needs an extra PostScript Simm to use PostScript capabilities, this you find out after reading carefully the instructions. This if you use a PC, because if you have a Mac, neither those option will work. So i guess what is printed in the specifications does not match the real printer capabilities. I am sorry Samsung, but for me this printer was a great dissapointment. A mistery for me is how it is possible that a new toner cartridge is costs 60% the printer's price ? ( at least where i live ). I sold this printer and now i have a HP-1015, just great.

Summary: Good printer at unbeatable price
Review: This printer, Samsung ML-1450, is amazing. It is fast, reliable, and economical. ...I like the huge paper tray that holds about 550 pages. It is quiet during the printing process. The package includes the printer, 1 CD (Manual + Drivers), a power cord (no printer cable or USB cable is included). I also like its "Toner Save" button which gives almost the same printing quality as normal mode. So far, I do not have any problems with this printer.
