Just ordered one with ejunkie 25 off 75 coupon. Total 54.99 plus tax. Thanks OP

[Kewlj1313]

Awesome deal with the 25 off 75!! :) thanks alot

[eibgrad]

I can't argue it's a not good price, but it always seems to me the issue w/ color laser printers is the cost of consumables, not the printer itself. I'm not sure I'd buy one if it was half this price.

[Chrs]

Tempted to buy it with coupon just for the starter toner...

[alainshep]

Can you elaborate? I am contemplating whether color is better. I really don't want 2 printers.

ditto that !

[eibgrad]

Can you elaborate? I am contemplating whether color is better. I really don't want 2 printers.

I'm only saying that color laser printing is pretty expensive compared to anything else, whether B&W laser or inkjet. I'm betting you only get starter drums, and when it comes time for replacement, expect to pay over $200 to replace the set. Of course, I’d expect to get much better "per page" costs compared to color inkjet. Just make sure you take that into consideration. It's easy to get enamored by the immediate purchase and not consider the long term costs. But if you do, and it works for you, then by all means purchase it.

[airshaq20]

Almost bought one but found this review from Staples:

I bought this printer thinking it was a good deal. The company lists print output expectations at between 1000 and 1,500 copies per toner. I have printed less than 1,000 copies; have replaced ALL FOUR TONERS and now the Yellow is empty again. I only got 385 copies out of the most recent yellow. Samsung's service is abysmal. I have called a dozen times; each time I get a new ticket number. I have to explain the situation all over again. They never follow up on the call and then I need a new ticket number! They refuse to deal with the issue of toner usage; basically saying it's my problem. How do you like that! So, this printer is going into the trash where it belongs, and I will NEVER purchase another Samsung product. I have a number of high-priced appliances and electronics made by them, but refuse to purchase anything else. There are a lot of better companies out there that stand behind their products. I've been duped, but it won't happen again! Caveat Emptor!

[engineerd]

The toner is going to cost $$130 for all four set.

Imagine that~~~~~~

[MozartA]

Is there cheap replacement toner for this? If not, the final cost of using this could be expensive. Based on that review, print 400 pages and may need to replace 4 toners which OEM cost like $220+

[ProblyShdntHave]

Wow.. what a great deal.. $62.38(after tax+coupon) after $25 off coupon at ejunkie. I was planning to wait in line at Frys for this for $80.. thanks!!

[MozartA]

The toner is going to cost $$130 for all four set.

Imagine that~~~~~~

If generic toner cost $130 for a set and it can only print about 400 color pages. That means it cost $0.325 dollar a page!!

[tqlla3k]

Damn, I already order an HP Color LaserJet Pro CP1525NW Printer. That was $125 after coupon. Thats a lot more expensive than this one. Should I cancel the HP?

[piccirilli]

I picked one up for the price of $58. I read somewhere it's possible to refill the toner cartridges.
It's worth a try it even if I have to buy 3rd party cartridge refills. Can't be more expensive than inkjets.

[taurus2007]

I am a cheap ass so I just use the one in the office if I need to print something in color! :lol:

Toners are always expensive whether you have black or color printers.

[mannyaguilar]

That review doesn't tell all the story. The number of pages printed per unit is with some determined coverage, say 15%, since normally the page will be white with letters and some pictures, like a magazine page. If you print full blown pictures all the time the toner will not last the expected number the manufacturer specified.

[barbiedull]

OP--great deal. Thanks and repped.

[ProblyShdntHave]

Simple because I dont have to worry about the "ink" drying out with this it makes it a good value.

[afx]

Just ordered one, use one at work and they work really well

[1southern1belle]

Has anyone searched or found generic replacement toner cartridges for this model..(ie..are they readily available)?
Or should I just do the buy now and think about it later? :lol:

Too many deals today! :whee:

[snakebert]

I have this printer and it is possible to use less expensive toner refills instead of purchasing the expensive OEM cartridges. Be warned, that each cartridge has a chip in it to prevent/discourage such activity. There is also a reset chip available if you want to bypass the OEM chip.

Most people say that you should be good for at least two refills before the chip locks you out from further refilling, but you have to get to the cartridge before it reaches 25%.

Bottles of toner (black and colors) run less than $15 each (you may need as many as 4). Chips to defeat the ones on cartridge run less than $20 each (you might need 4, one for each cart). OEM carts run about $100 each.

I am considering buying another one on this slick deal just to have another set of starter cartridges for $60!

for $55 + tax, can't complain, great deal repped

I bought two CLP-315W printers (the previous model I guess) a few years back and I would recommend them to anyone. I gave one away to a friend when I moved, to save space in the moving truck, but it still had a lot of life left in it. If you visit the printer's IP address in your web browser, it will tell you how many pages you've printed along with how much toner is left. If those numbers are to be believed, you will get thousands of pages out of it before you need new cartridges. For $80 or less, buy two and sell/donate one when it needs new carts.

Besides, the whole reason I bought a laser printer is because my HP inkjet had cartridges that were set to expire, so if I didn't print very often, I might only get 10 pages out of $70 worth of inkjet cartridges. Now THAT was not a good value. Screw HP. :)

[straw]

Great Xmas gift for my girlfriend going back to college, especially with the extra 25$ off only costing 1.95$. Now I can buy toner replacements for birthdays or something

[itdwebman]

This is a great deal- repped

[spydersdeals69]

:confused: :confused:WHY REPLACE TONER??? :confused: :confused:


I'm shocked that there are sooooo many otherwise intelligent SDers here that are worried about toner. I got two of last year's model (315W) for $35 each. Both had FULL toner. After 3200+ pages, they are both still going strong without a single hiccup! (Of course, I don't print out enormous photos in "Best" setting either. Everyone should know that you don't buy a color laser for that! :lol:)

Would you rather buy a printer that uses ink and spend hundreds of dollars replacing "cheap" ink after every 50-200 prints? :shake:

I see it this way:

Buy the printer. (Hell, buy 2 or 3!)
Print away to your heart's content forever with ZERO worries about ink cost or dying.
Trade this in on the next deal and get $50 towards your next printer.
TOTAL COST = $5.

Seems simple enough to me! :nod:

Edit: After I get two of these, I will HAVE GOTTEN PAID $30 to print for one year. :D

[taisharmoridin]

I got the 315W a year or so ago when it was a MM after PM/Rebate/Coupon. (PM to $125 - $25 coupon and it had a $125 rebate). Great printer, would definitely recommend it.

Where did you get them for $35 each? I thought I already scored an epic deal getting it for $40 at Staples open box (late 2010). :lol:

Would buy another one. My favorite laser.

I just printed out the test page and I have about 55-60% remaining on my original toner and their page count is 973.

I use it liberally when I need things printed in color, but otherwise I have an ML-2510 which I bought back in 2009 from NewEgg for like $40. I have since had to replace the toner once (just within the past 2 weeks actually) for $20 and I'm good for another 3000 pages.

I also have two HP inkjets which keep drying the ink out and bitching at me that yellow, or magenta or some other stupid color is out when I have barely printed 100 pages with it. I only really use them for the scanner.

I still would never trade in my Samsung lasers..they do not bitch or complain and just keep chugging along..unlike the the farking HPs that have paper jams or out of ink every 5 minutes.

[shopaholic0308]

I purchased a samsung printer & it had problems within 3 months. Sent it in to Samsung for repair. Been waiting over a month to get it back. Horrible customer service!!:mad:

I got mine at Office Depot. I totally agree with you about everything you stated...particularly HP printers.

NEVER AGAIN!

[cgrady]

First off, be warned that when using this printer in wireless mode, it kicks into a sleep mode that it won't wake from to print unless you turn it off/on. If you get it, use a wired network connection (if it supports it, I can't recall at the moment), or connect it directly to a computer.


Second, toner is irrelevant - when you get low, just buy the next color laser deal for half the price of the toner :)

[DealCrazy]

I saw this today morning before it hit SD. After the initial toner is done for, it will end up in the garbage as the replacement cartridge is so expensive. It is on sale for a reason.

[dragon007]

Awesome deal, u can't go wrong for the price. There is a hardly a color laser at this price for any quality.

[Clutchm3]

Thank you this is awesome got one!

1) do you know if this is an intentional design or a bug that may be fixed with firmware/driver updates?

2) like it was said above, it comes with starter toner, so the page count is much less than a full toner. Looks like 400 pages before it's dead. Looks like the full toner is 1500 pages and a full set is $227, making it just as expensive to by one of these every time.

I'm confused though...it seems like some SDers are getting full toners with this model?

Is this specific to the 325W? I have absolutely no issues with wireless on the 315W. It goes to sleep and wakes when it receives a print job.

And true on the second part ;).

:dontknow: I guess I didn't want to jump on a deal without considering all other costs involved, but good point about buying another printer instead of more toner. I just haven't switched to the mindset yet that printers are disposable instead of replacing the ink. :lol:

even if the price was $20, you would've said the same thing.
$55 is a great deal, if not phenomenal. You are just being whiny.

[markzabin]

how does the coupon work? You buy it from ebay and they mail it to you or do they give out the code after u buy immediately? Looked like a lot of them were 2 or 3 day bid items.

I also have the 315W, and it is an awesome printer... And yes, the toners are expensive, which is why when my black toner ran out in my 315w after about a year I did NOT buy a replacement toner, but rather waited for a deal like this!
As long as they have these things on sale at this price about once a year I'll be just fine:nod:

hello new 325W...315W it's been fun, but off to ebay you go to pay for your replacement.

In for one for $59.73 after coupon. I am sort of tired of making one new account after another, lol.

I had the predecessor to this printer (CLP-300) when i was in grad school, and it came with the same starter toner. I printed hundreds of handouts with tons of color (icons, photos, etc) for a whole year while student teaching, and i had at least half the toner before I gave the printer away. It is heavy and you cant stack much on it, so it had to go :(

It was otherwise a total beast. Not a single hiccup.

But I am curious for those of you who run out of toner any earlier than that...are you just printing 8.5x11 wallpaper tiles in yellow, cyan, and magenta???

in for 1, just under $40 after cost of coupon and $20 reward that I need to use.

[coropin]

last year I got CLP-310. after I run out of toner, I just trashed the unit. It was good for 6 or 7 month.

In general, Laser printer is less expensive to run than ink jet. Some laser printer worth to get new toners (or just refill) but CLP-310 was just ok in quality and I didn't want to get new toners.

I am questioning about this deal. Should I buy this for 6 mo use?

You're comparing it to another model. This model specifically states:

What's in the Box?
CLP-325W Color Laser Printer
Starter Toner Cartridge
Crossover cable
Setup guide
User manual on CD

So is this to be believed? Is it the same steal of a deal if you get a measly 400 pages or so?

Yeah can someone confirm? Because what spyderdeals is saying is, thousands of pages

however others report couple hundred?

How do you know it's only a few hundred pages? I'm still on the starter toner of my 315W and have printed close to 1000 with about 55% remaining according to the status report.

It's absolutely a bug, but I don't know if they even care

Yah it's just the 325W, I bought one on a previous deal and the constant not waking drove me nuts - I ended up pawning it off on my sister when I bought a samsung all-in-one color laser on a later deal.

I don't know, and apparently no one else does. It's purely conjecture, just as much as spydersdeals69 is based on conjecture. He's comparing a different model, and a different year. But these things change (did last year’s model also state “starter toner”?), esp. as manufacturers get wise to this sort of customer behavior. spydersdeals69 made his statements as if it’s a fact we'll see 3200 pages. Maybe, maybe not. Again, we're all guessing until someone, anyone, who owns one can confirm it.

Yeah I'd be hard pressed to say 3200 pages on starter toner..but looking at my usage, I think 2000 would be a plausible estimate.

Here's some hard numbers though from the TigerDirect.

1000 pages B&W
700 color.

That is why the favorite SD saying is... order NOW, think later (and cancel if necessary)!

No kidding...
These deals go so quick, like you have to either be on this site or be pretty darn lucky to get'em sometimes.

or maybe even both in some cases!

[BobLablaw]

Just worked for me. $55 shipped.
thanks OP

I'm sorry Charlie Brown. :comfort: Here...I'm going to hold this football and you can be the first to kick it off. Come on..it's thanksgiving. It'll make you feel better :D

Hey dzap..:wave2: Does staples track the coupons based on if you are registered when you checkout?... Or is it done by cc used or shipping address? I wanna purchase another coupon but not want the "Coupon already redeemed" message and I've got other deals to do. :girly:

Haha..funny you should mention that. I've gotten PMs recently on people that have made the Staples blacklist and have been asking for advice :D

Staples tracks by SHIPPING address so they will link guest checkout orders to an account.

You should use a different coupon if you can.

[killushot]

I got mine for $16.15 after the 25 off75 and my rewards checks!

Sweet deal a throwaway color laser printer!

I love black Friday!

Are you guys talking about using the exact same coupon (like trying to use the same code more than once), or using the same amount coupon (like a bunch of different 25 off 75 coupons all bought 1 by 1 online)?

Hopefully its the former, but I didn't think that was possible. If you can get blacklisted for using several different $25 coupon codes...uh oh....how many are we talking here?

[JPenedo]

Can someone explain really quickly how to get the ejunkie coupon? Trying to order something else and would like to use it. I keep going to that site but the PayPal checkout doesn't work.

OR if someone who bought it and can't use it can PM the code, I would really be in debt to you! THANKS! :)

[Traveler2530]

I'm only saying that color laser printing is pretty expensive compared to anything else, whether B&W laser or inkjet. I'm betting you only get starter drums, and when it comes time for replacement, expect to pay over $200 to replace the set. Of course, I’d expect to get much better "per page" costs compared to color inkjet. Just make sure you take that into consideration. It's easy to get enamored by the immediate purchase and not consider the long term costs. But if you do, and it works for you, then by all means purchase it.


I got one two years ago from Fry's for $119, then a few months later another for $89 to get the cartridges. They were about $130 for the set of 4 with small(not starter) loads. I sold the old 315-w with half full starter cartridges for about $50. Even though this has starter loads, it's a good deal!

FWIW: My 315 does VERY good color prints on plain paper, a plus. But for high quality home printing, nothing beats even a mediocre quality inkjet with nice photo paper. I even tried HP Photo Laser paper, my $20 PH1050 inkjet prints better!

[pinup22]

Does this have Google Cloud Print? A must going forward.

[the_rockstar]

I wasnt looking for a printer .. but these are going cheap!

Can anyone please tell me which one of these is the best?


Samsung CLP-325W Color Laser Printer $80

:confused: :confused:WHY REPLACE TONER??? :confused: :confused:


I'm shocked that there are sooooo many otherwise intelligent SDers here that are worried about toner. I got two of last year's model (315W) for $35 each. Both had FULL toner. After 3200+ pages, they are both still going strong without a single hiccup! (Of course, I don't print out enormous photos in "Best" setting either. Everyone should know that you don't buy a color laser for that! :lol:)

Would you rather buy a printer that uses ink and spend hundreds of dollars replacing "cheap" ink after every 50-200 prints? :shake:

I see it this way:

Buy the printer. (Hell, buy 2 or 3!)
Print away to your heart's content forever with ZERO worries about ink cost or dying.
Trade this in on the next deal and get $50 towards your next printer.
TOTAL COST = $5.

Seems simple enough to me! :nod:

Edit: After I get two of these, I will HAVE GOTTEN PAID $30 to print for one year. :D

Is it a staples policy to give you $50 towards the purchase of a printer if you trade in an old one? any restrictions?

[ape]

Is there cheap replacement toner for this? If not, the final cost of using this could be expensive. Based on that review, print 400 pages and may need to replace 4 toners which OEM cost like $220+


you cannot refill these toner carts & there is a chip that automatically shuts down the cartridges after 1000 prints, regardless of what you printed and whether the toner is still full & the firmware disables the printer after 10,000 pages for drum replacement

[t_money662]

I'm using different coupons but I think the some of the code is similar ...I may do a store pick-up on a few deals. Thanks. ;)

Any idea of how many could potentially get you blacklisted?
I don't know anyone who has, but I'm betting some folks here might...
I used 4 in the last week, and was planning on using a couple more for some more deals...should I be worrying?:confused:

[dzap]

It happens every other month or so. Usually the trade-in only qualifies with the purchase of a new HP printer.

[pegoodal]

I have the CLP-315w and use it daily for multiple pages of coupons. There is a chip that allows for refilling the cartridges. Very important: The chip must be installed before the original cartridges are empty. Printer locks up at that point. Chip can be bought on ebay for a reasonable price. You can disassemble the printer (youtube, not difficult) and solder it in yourself (not for the faint of heart, thought I bricked mine on two out of three tries) or the chip supplier will do it for you. I have bought one refill kit ($50-60) in two years. I still have some of that left... Note: I am too frugal at heart, I did not empty out the remaining toner from my cartridges and added the refill toner in lesser amounts than was recommended. Colors are crisp and bright to date. Text and bar codes are clear and sharp.
Purchased the chip from http://www.tonertrust.com.
The only Con I find with this printer is the fact the wireless connection drops at times.

[spydersdeals69]

I don't know, and apparently no one else does. It's purely conjecture, just as much as spydersdeals69 is based on conjecture. He's comparing a different model, and a different year. But these things change (did last year’s model also state “starter toner”?), esp. as manufacturers get wise to this sort of customer behavior. spydersdeals69 made his statements as if it’s a fact we'll see 3200 pages. Maybe, maybe not. Again, we're all guessing until someone, anyone, who owns one can confirm it.

FACT: I DO have over 3200 pages printed.

FACT: Number of pages will vary, depending on what you're printing. I DID NOT state that everyone would net 3200 pages. I DID specify that I don't go willy-nilly printing off 8X10 photos in "Best" quality, since that's NOT what color lasers are for. Anyone that buys one for that purpose is a fool.

FACT: If one buys a regular inkjet printer and proceeds to print off said 8X10 photos in said "Best" quality, they can expect to spend 10-20 times the amount of this printer on "cheap" ink. Savings? I think not. Avoiding the headaches of 3rd party ink and the inconvenience of constantly running out of ink is priceless.

FACT: You do not own this printer, nor do you own one remotely similar. It appears you are spreading FUD for some strange reason; pandering to base fears and guessing at unknowns without any semblance of truth in your posts is beyond silly.

FACT: Regardless of how many pages one actually gets, this printer costs $5 to use.*

*FACT: For those that asked: Staples, Office Depot, and Office Max have a $50 "trade-in event" about every other month.

I'm raising basic and reasonable questions to determine how much a deal, if any, this is. As I said, you keep comparing your experience w/ another laser printer to this one. Given that, and based on the fact it comes w/ a “starter toner”, is it not reasonable to call into question your assumptions? Are we just to roll over and not question anything?

As far as the 3200 pages, I assume that if ppl followed your reasonable usage patterns, they could expect similar results. Obviously someone who is UNreasonable would never achieve those results. To suggest that my concern about the actual pages available from the starter toner included those unreasonable few is disingenuous.

As far as the $50 trade-in, you mean something like this current promotion?

http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/110109/merch9862/index.html?cm_sp=marketing-_-subnav-_-HP%20Printer%20TITU&icid=HP:HP:SUBNAV:HP_PRI:NULL:20101116:3

So I have to purchase another laser printer at full price, and in this case, $199 or above, and I get $50 credit? That's a deal maker? (or should I not question this either)

[mikejones]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the $50 trade-in is not going to work towards a future $55 printer deal. And by pretty sure, I mean I guarantee it won't.

[xenodude]

anyone has their order status in "researching"?

[spaaarky21]

I'm surprised so many otherwise intelligent SD'ers don't read the spec.

You're comparing it to another model. This model specifically states:

What's in the Box?
CLP-325W Color Laser Printer
Starter Toner Cartridge
Crossover cable
Setup guide
User manual on CD

So is this to be believed? Is it the same steal of a deal if you get a measly 400 pages or so?
Where are you getting 400 pages from? The CLP-315W that everyone (including myself) are comparing it to also came with starter cartridges but its description (http://www.adorama.com/SSGCLP315W.html?utm_term=Other&utm_medium=Shopping%20Site&utm_campaign=Other&utm_source=gbase) says "ships with 1,000 pages starter toner cartridge" and I got waaaay more out of mine printing mostly text. I'd be curious to know if the CLP-325W's start cartridges stack up.

[agentkhiem]

So it was OOS. At least, that's what it told me for the first couple of tries. Online Rep told me as well. Last try and was able to add it to my cart, successfully check out, and receive an order number. Curse of the Touchpad? We'll see.

Yes, that was a rather silly argument in favor of making this printer purchase on the part of spyderdeals69. Confirmed by his conveniently timed disappearance from this thread. :D

[CoquetayLoca]

Any recommended refill kit or generic toners for this printer?

[sr71]

I'm surprised so many otherwise intelligent SD'ers don't read the spec...

A replacement Blk cartridge is ~ $44 (real Samsung) on Amazon so yeah, you can use it after the starter cartridge runs out worst case as a mono printer, plus you should be able to get $50 via selling on eBay or trade-in at end-of-life to recoup your orig investment.
sold off an older CLP-300 that way more than paid for this one.

The printer has to have a reg price of $199, but it DOESN'T HAVE to be at that price when you make your purchase! Have a couple of $50 HP's in the garage from prev offers. In addition to the Staples trade-in there are HP offers (http://a.slickdeals.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=760558&d=1321374193) as well

[bored08]

Did anybody else get their ordered canceled by Staples? I ordered it almost as soon as it was posted on Thanksgiving and they canceled my order

[CoquetayLoca]

I got the one we ordered on Thanksgiving yesterday. I ordered another on Saturday I think, maybe Friday and it says shipped. I ordered one from my acct with my credit card and DH ordered one in his account with his CC. Staples put both orders in my account (or maybe both, didn't check DHs) and changed my shipping addy to the one used in DHs order.

[agentkhiem]

It shows in stock and then when you click to add it to your cart it shows OUT of stock!

True, but if you keep adding it to your cart, it eventually gets added. This is what I did to get mine. I actually thought it was going to get canceled but I now have a shipped status with a tracking number.

Wonder why others got theirs canceled?

[montgal]

A great price. Let me ask you a question --- what is the condition of the printer (i.e., exterior ware and tear, interior ware and tear, toner condition, and condition of the rollers and image drum). Is it new, used, or refurbished.
