Summary: I ordred this printer because it is the same one that I have that quit working. I didn't want to get rid of the ink I had already so I purchased a new one.
Summary: This is a great little printer! I am shopping for the cartridge now and decided to write a review. I have had it for many years and have never had any trouble with it.
Summary: Bought it back in 2004, and doing a review in 2012 is kind of ridiculous, but being a long time owner to this little machine, I have to say, it's fantastic.
Conclusion: I was looking Minolta 1350W & this Samsung ML-1740.And i chose samsung. My first laser printer.. i was suprised with this printer... i didnt expect this great quality...
Pros: Cheap, Fast, Great quality
Cons: Toner Cartage cost almost same as the printer
Conclusion: This is a great printer. It's compact, fast, and output quality is very good. No problems with paper feeding, doing envelopes or labels. Economical.
Pros: Very fast; inexpensive; 'drum' is part of toner cartridge so no need to ever replace an expensive drum; compact; high capacity paper tray
Cons: Output area holds too few copies. If printing more than 10 or 15 sheets, remove copies or they may fall onto floor.
Conclusion: I bought an ML-1740 for one college student daughter two years ago and it has functioned perfectly so I just bought another one for daughter #2 when she went off to
Conclusion: This printer is fast! It was very easy to set up (I use winXP and a USB connection), and I did not experience the power draw (dimming lights) that others reported.
Conclusion: We own several, and after about 10 months, a few have had identical problems related to the rollers feeding the paper, but the problems go away after a time.
