Summary: Great Laser printer -- especially or the price!!!!
Review: the comments below are from a famous shopping discussion forum, not my personal opinion:
1. Very fast, nice;
2. I finally got a laser printer. It is damn fast compared to my inkjet..... Takes up less space on my desk than the inkjet;
3. it's great so far. Much faster than my poor 4ppm printer. Although I miss the LCD display that gives a bit more information than the three blinking LEDs;
4. Printed about 600+ pages so far and the toner still print out pretty good;
5. Nice print out quality. A lot faster than my HP inkjet 932c. My wife loves it. It's well worthed especially for the price.
I am using a Lexmark e312L at work and it has a major problem with multiple pages feed. Bcuz of this I was hesitated to buy the e210 model at the beginning But after reading many reviews from several sites, I decided to give it a try and I am very happy that I did

Summary: Cheapest Laser I've ever seen
Review: This is a decent laser printer that handles text well and has only jammed once despite going through several thousand pages and numerous sheets of labels.

Pros
-Price -- I got mine for $75 from office depot after a coupon and rebate
-text quality

Cons
-Graphics quality: not the greatest, don't buy it if you have to print anything with graphics
-Ink cost: pretty high cost per page

If you can get this for under 100, go for it, otherwise, get another printer with less expensive ink

Also, if you do indeed buy this printer, install the driver for the Samsung 1200 series printers instead of the e210 -- since the printers are really the same but with different emblems on the outside, you can use the better Samsung driver which has an ink saver mode which definitely works driving down the cost per page by ~20-30% while keeping the text dark enough to read

Summary: excellent, affordable
Review: This is a great laser printer - it's very affordable and performs like any other top-of-the-line printer. Toner lasts a long time, and it's very easy to set up.

Summary: awsome !
Review: this is a great printer. Its printing quality is really good (specially if u consider its price). And i just like laser's sooo much more than those inkjets. Although its B&W, the quality of printouts is really worth it !
Shop around though, I got this printer from Staples for 150$.

Summary: Great Printer
Review: This was my first laser printer and I love it. The set-up was easy and fast, the print quality is good, and the speed is excellent. I was concerned about only printing in B&W, so I left my ink-jet connected as well. I was surprised with how few documents I printed that needed color. I hardly ever use my ink-jet now, as I can't stand to wait on it. The cartridges are on the expensive side, but it was over a year with moderate printing until I had to replace it. A tip: when the print quality starts getting light, take out the cartridge, turn it back and forth a few times and re-insert. You may have to do this a few times, but you can get a month or more of good pages out of it before replacing.
