I used the network cable setup and had no problems with Windows 7 32 bit. Printer starts up fast and prints well.

This printer is generally very good.
My issue is with the bypass tray, which I use frequently for printing checks, labels and on letterhead. About 75% of the time, the bypass tray jams (sometimes up to four times after clearing) before picking up the paper from the bypass tray. I have to open it up, remove 4 toner cartridges and then put them back. There is never a real jam. It's a real hassle.
We have also not been able to set up the wireless feature. I am very disappointed.

Printer works like a charm. However, setup to print wirelessly is a major bummer. I have been unable to set my printer to print without being connected to my router. I am then able to print wirelessly from my laptop. But I bought this printer so I would not have to move my router to be next to my printer. Unfortunately, I may have to return this printer for one that really works.

This is the 3rd laser printer I've owned, and I've also owned several inkjets. This replaces a Samsung ML-1710 (which served me well and still works) and an old Lexmark inkjet. So far I've been very happy with this product. The price of toner replacements concerns me, but I haven't had to do it yet, so it really may not be an issue.
Network setup is OK as long as you use the CD. Even with the CD, I feel like there is much room for improvement in this area. I like how the menu on the unit allows you to see/set all of the network settings, but even being an electrical engineer, I couldn't get it to work without the wizard on the CD.
I haven't found anything comparable for the price. There are one or two really cheap color lasers out there, but they are not worth it.
I love the features of this, the price, and have not been disappointed with the quality. It is large for a home printer, though. My wife thought I was buying a piece of furniture when it was delivered :)
