| Re: New printer: Samsung ML-1610 or HPP1005 Not having used the Samsung in question, i am not sure if this is an "expert" opinion, but, a couple of things:
First, the Samsung is definitley a cut below in features to the HP in question. The ML-1610, is only a USB 1.1 printer, with a max resolution of 600 dpi, with 2mb built in memory, whereas the HP P1005 is a USB 2.0 device, capable of 1200 dpi, with 8mb memory built in...
In other words, the HP is just a more capable laser right from the start, on that alone, if it comes between the two, I'd select the HP. I am NOT saying that the Samsung is in any way "bad", but a direct comparison between the two clearly favors the HP.
We use low-cost HP LaserJets where I work, the old (now) 1200 LaserJets, and I'm pleased to say that out some 40+ units, in use for over 5 years now, not one has yet needed service...not too shabby at all! Now, these do not get huge throughput, each is used by an individual user, so page totals are far from awesome, but 40+ units over a 5+ year operating period, with zero issues is a fair indicator of quality to me!
