Samsung CLP-315 review

Looks like a great printer but the lack of Windows 7 support is a huge disappointment. Is there any news from Samsung as to whether they intend to upgrade the drivers for Windows 7?

Windows 7 drivers are already available - and have been for some time. A new version was released on Friday: http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/print-solutions

Thanks pinball_wizard. I think I'll be ordering one of these. Or, more likely, the wifi version which is only about £25 more on Amazon.

I'm with PC Pro on this - fantastic quality - and not actually that inexpensive to run unless doing bulk jobs!
With some good quality paper, it's almost comparable to my photo printer! And surprisingly quiet as well. And I can confirm that the Windows 7 drivers work, both 32 and 64 bit.

Come on PC Pro, your very slow!

Come on PC Pro, your so out of date! I've had the wireless/networked version of this printer (CLP-315W) sat on my desk for a year now, cost £150 when I bought it, but the non networked version was under £100.

I can recommend this printer, it's fast and quiet, with good results. I have it installed on Vista 64bit. I did have one problem, but it turned out it had an on site warranty and Samsung came out and fixed it, a first class service, considering the purchase price.

I don't print a lot so the toner should last me years, hopefully, as it is quite expensive. But it saved me a fortune on ink, as I was always having to replace dried out cartridges through lack of use.
