Dell 1230c COLOR LASER PRINTER

I'm a fan of Dell products, and this printer is one of the reasons for that. It is affordable in you buy it direct from Dell (about $199) and it is very easy to set up and prepare to use with your computer. It's a little bulky for a small printer and you will need a good space for it. I have a large desk in my home that it sits on.

The quality of the color is phenomenal. Incredible color reproduction. It prints very quickly but I've noticed that it takes a few seconds to warm up to the actual printing. I've also owned a Dell 1110 black and white laser printer, also a great printer, and it's warm up time was about half that of this model.

But, that's ok. I print so little that I don't need it to be super quick. It's a work horse printer that supposedly will eject well over 1000 pages before needing new toner. If there's a real problem with this machine, it's the price for replacing the toner. It's not cheap to replace the four color representations...Read more

I own a terrible Samsung CLP-310 that had not properly fed paper from the paper tray since day one. I have finally decided to replace it (after only a year) because Samsung cannot service the printer. As I've been looking at other small color laser printers, I came across this Dell which appears to be identical to my CLP-310. Has Dell taken Samsung's old (failed) CLP-310 and rebranded it?
