Apple the exclusive retailer of new Samsung printers
I don't recall this happening any time recently; the Korean newspaper Chosunilbo is reporting that Apple is the exclusive US retailer for a new line of Samsung printers, at least until January 2008. The printers in question are the slick piano black monochrome laser ML-1630 ($199.95) and multifunction laser SCX-4500 ($299.95) and both qualify for Apple's $100 rebate when purchased with a new Mac. Looking at these printers I can't help but think they'd blend perfectly with the black bezel ring of the new iMacs.[via Engadget]

Personally, I think that I got with the 24 looks better with it. Its the Canon mp600, which has an identical color scheme as the imac.

Presumably, then, these will work significantly better than the last Samsung printer I attempted to use with a Mac (which involved incredibly amounts of CUPS hackery)?

Make one that prints color and is networkable... then you've got a winner.

A monochrome laser printer with no network capability? What is this, 1997? Pass.

I think Samsung makes a color laser model at $300. Unless you like exercises in frustration or paying for junk, you don't want them, the ratings for that Samsung were pretty low.
So far, I'm very happy with the HP 2605dn, I think it can be had for $400, is networkable, color and duplexing. The 26xx series prints pretty nice, though it is a bit slow to start, I print anything color on it except for photos and CDs, which can still be done better with inkjet.
