| i don't know why everybody is complaining about setup. at least in snow leopard you don't need anything. the driver comes preinstalled on 10.6x. i never even opened the cd cover. connect x-over cable, add printer, go to option/supplies, click on Show Printer Webpage, network settings, wireless wizard, choose from ssid list, provide password, disconnect x-ver cable. that's it. oh yeah, that scans as well ..... over the (wireless) network. i am trilled with my unit. it's super quiet and got the best form factor possible. it also has a bit of a firewall and device whitelisting capabilities. keep in mind through that it's monochrome, has no fax, no duplexing, and a modest 100 sheet paper try. i knew all that and i sure as heck didn't want a fax and gladly trade the form factor for the occasional extra reload. so i'm perfectly happy. installation took under 10 minutes from mugging the fed ex guy to the first wireless test page. this little beauty is replacing a hp 3380 which is an awfully noisy beast with the buggiest 250MB+ driver bloat you could possibly imagine. on the downside, the on/off switch is at the back of the unit but given its' form factor, it's easy to get to. more annoyingly, though, you can access the printer only over telnet not ssh. i haven't been the excited about a printer since i got my first oki laser printer back in '94. and i can't tell you how happy i am to be able to give hp the middle finger not only without sacrificing one bit of functionality but also adding features .. did i mention how darn quiet that puppy is? you actually need to do a visual check convince yourself that it's actually printing. |
Takes some skills to set up but works well afterwards.

I have to admit setting up this printer from a Mac takes some skills. Unfortunately the Java interface us not perfect for setup fro
Mac so I defaulted to Explorer under Bootcamp. However I believe Firefox works okay after you get the Network interface going. The settings can be accessed by browser once the printer learns you want to use it in Network mode.
Another secret, in Snow Leopard do not bother with ScanManager. In Preview, change the Import from Scanner setting to Find Network Devices, then go back to Import from Scanner and you will see it there. Voilà, you're scanning wirlelessly.
Load the printer driver from Samsung website first, then add printer from Bonjour. You're set. Works better in Snow Leopard than 10.5.
Overall very happy with this printer. Fast, very quiet, sleek, and prints and scans wirelessly. |

I'll try to save people a great deal of effort.
If you're using a mac and you want to use this printer as a network wireless printer, this is what you need to do:
1. Using an ethernet cord (not the included crossover cord), plug the printer into your router.
2. Turn on the printer, add paper, and hold down the Stop/Clear button for approx. 6 seconds until a diagnostic page prints
3. Type the printer's IP address into your browser.
4. Click the wireless tab on the left side, follow the instructions and hook your printer into your wireless network.
5. Go to System Preferences, Printers, Search and Add your new printer.
Thats it.
You can now unplug your printer from the network, and put it anywhere you want wirelessly. Adding it to other machines is just a System Preferences, Printer, Add printer. |

| After I was finally able to get the wireless up and running I like how the machine operates. Samsung does not include all the instructions for syncing the wireless (if there were instructions then I overlooked them). I'm not going to go through all of the steps, however I will offer three critical parts that should get you on your way if you have any knowledge about setting up a home network. 1. After you install the software, place your IP address in the address bar and press enter. 2. After you have done step one (and the configuration under the wireless section), you will need to go to your printers and right click on properties (for the samnsung scx-4500) and add a port using your IP address. 3. In order to use the wireless scanning feature, you must go back to the samsung website (download center) and download the Scan Driver/Scan Manager software. After you have installed, the Samsung Scan Manager will be located under control panel. I made a desktop shortcut. Note...the steps listed above are for PC users. Anywho, smooth printing, great color scanning but a bit of a headache to set up. The tech support at Samsung was nice and patient and English speaking! Good luck! |
