Ok, my boss does this to me from time to time and this time I think I am going to gather the opinions of other techies before I make a decision. He got this sales email from a Samsung Rep tell him all about how their Printer will save money vs the comparible HP. The two printers that are being Compared are the Samsung ML 4551N and the HP LaserJet 4250n.
Doing a spec for spec comparison they are very similar and the only thing that I can see the Samsung coming ahead in is price and it has more standard ram. The concern I have is the toner. It is very easy to get re-filled toner for HP printers at a good price and I am thinking that we would have to pay for new toner for the samsung. Another thing that concerns me is the serviceability. Many of the parts in HP Workgroup lasers are End User replaceable and maintenance on them is relatively easy. If anybody has seen this model or similar models in action please respond. I am looking to get feedback from the masses. Thanks.
