Great printer great price terrible manual
Our TV is a Samsung so we thought we'd try out this printer b/c of the price. Print quality is pretty good setup is quite easy and it's very quiet. It's also a networkable printer (Ethernet and WiFi) so it was a no-brainer on which one to get.
The only "gripe" I have w/ this printer is the wireless setup--it is not very easy to do and the manual wasn't as detailed as it should have been. Basically the printer uses 802.11b/g to connect to your wireless base station.
The easiest way to setup the printer that I've found is to do the following...
Install the software (Mac or Windows)
Change the IP address to a static one on your network that is compatible w/ your router (ex. If your router is 192.168.1.1 then make the printer 192.168.1.2).
Set the gateway to point to the router(ex. 192.168.1.1).
Restart the printer and you're in business.
This was NOT how it was explained in the manual... it ended up taking longer following the instructions in the box than it did to just do it myself. I'm no genius but you can tell that the people who wrote the manual were not the people who were using it or had done it so many times that they forgot a few steps.
Excellent printer just tread lightly when setting up the network/wifi connection.More detail ...
