Hey, I am looking to buy a new printer as a student(99% of it's use case will be printing documents). I was looking for a fast,realiable and somewhat cheap laser printer and found this Samsung SL-M2825ND, did any of you have this printer/recommend it?

 

 

P.S. I want it to print fast so that I don't wait 10 minutes for the most basic document(28 pages/minute seems awesome) and I was hoping for it as close to "push to print" as posible so when I am in a hurry I don't have to wait for setup time and other stuff like that.

Here is a link to the printer if you need to look further into it https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-M2825ND-Xpress-Laser-Printer/dp/B00BMGHO5K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511295342&sr=8-1&keywords=Samsung+SL-M2825ND

Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

I wouldn't spend that much on a basic printer with zero functionality other than printing. 

This for example is much cheaper https://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-L2340DW-Monochrome-Wireless-Replenishment/dp/B00LZS5EEI/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511295550&sr=1-2&keywords=brother+laser+printer and does pretty much the same thing. 

 

I've never had issues with Brother. The low end copier I'm using is about 10 years old by now and is still running.

Samsung laserprinters are pretty good, I'm just not sure if I can recommend them right now, as HP bought their entire printing department, so you're not sure if you will have toner in the next couple of years.

Looks like a deal, read some reviews and people seem happy with it, I saw some printers from Brother but never heard of the company as I don't know much about printers since I don't use them that often. Thanks for the tip, I think I'm gonna get this one.
