Samsung Monochrome Multifunction Laser Printer (SCX-4623FW) Review

I previously had Samsung SCX-4100 (connected to Windows XP PC). It worked well but was getting old (at least 5 years old).
I ordered new SCX-4623FW. After installation from the CD, I could print from the local
PC (connected via USB) and from other PCs in the house (wifi connection).
I am now using Windows 7 64 bit. The Samsung Scan Manager will not install on my PC. I tried to
install from the CD and also went to Samsung website and downloaded latest Scan mgr.
software. It would not install either. I installed the Samsung SmartThru4 software (which
worked correctly with SCX-4100) but it could not recognize the new SCX-4623FW printer.
I suspect the problems I am having are related to the fact that I am using Windows 7 64 bit (though
the Samsung website said the scan mgr (which I downloaded) would work with Windows 7 64 bit.

HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier (Q7311A#ABA) Review

HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier (Q7311A#ABA)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like most people, I wanted an all-in-one to replace a stack of machines: an ancient parallel-port scanner, a nearly ancient fax that prints with thermal paper, and the free printer I got from my last PC. After using this model for a few months, I find it does much of what I want.
I like the ability to scan documents to files for achiving and the scanning of multiple pictures into seperate files.
I suppose I shouldn't complain much for a machine at this price point, but it has several drawbacks:
(1) After running about 200 pages through the fax/scanner page feeder, my fed pages now show up with a line through them. Documentation says to clean the small scan window (which I did to no effect). Otherwise, you're out of luck. Flatbed scanning does not show the line.
(2) Regadless of which scanner you use, the printer adds small margins to each page. If you're printing a document with no margins, it will cut off the edges.
(3) Unlike even the cheap printers bundled with my last two PCs, this one has no wake-on-network capability (that is, since it site in my office, if it's turned off and I want to print, I have to walk over to turn it on). In fact, if something is stuck in the queue and I try to print a second document, it hangs my system.
(4)Like most HP products at the bottom of the cost curve, it feels flimsy. Every time I open the cover, it feels like it's going to fall off.

X2670 All-in-one Printer Review

X2670 All-in-one Printer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After having experienced numerous problems with previous printers (computer not being able to recognize printer, printer not being able to handle multiple print jobs at once, printer not being compatible with more than the initial computer hooked up to, printer necessitating color cartridge even to print colorless documents), I am pleased to say that this model so far shows no sign of these issues. However, I must point out that I've usually exprerienced the aforementioned issues farther down the line, which means I am prepared for the worst. The difference in this scenario (that is, from my previous purchases of printers) is that I contacted Lexmark (the manufacturer) BEFORE I purchased the item, (an idea I must say should have occurred to me long ago), to find out whether or not the printer will need a color cartridge replacement often, even if I just want to print in black. The good news is that as long as you print a color document from this printer once every two weeks, (according to the Lexmark representative I spoke with), the color cartridge should last up to four months and this will allow printing primarily in black for that interim. That's all I wanted out of this product.

600DPI Colour & Mono HandyScan Handheld Scanner w/ 4GB micro SD (PS410) Review

600DPI Colour and Mono HandyScan Handheld Scanner w/ 4GB micro SD (PS410)
Average Reviews:

I hope the designer of this product will read my review here, and make it better, because it could be a truly very useful tool.
I really think to some people this little tool can be very helpful. It's light, easy to carry, and works very well.
One thing I really want it changed is the distance from the side edge of the scanner to the line where the scan area starts. This won't be a problem if you just need to scan a piece of paper laying on the table. But once you try to scan a page in a book/thick magazine, you immediately feel the pain, because the scan area can not cover the whole page. As you can imagine, when you hold the scanner and move it from top to the bottom of the page in a book, you can't move the scanner too much to the left to let the scanning area cover the whole page, because the most you can do is to touch the edge of the scanner to the middle of the book. As a result, the scanned image often does not cover the 2 sides of the page. This is extremely painful, and almost make it unusable. I tried to scan from left to right (instead of from top to bottom), but it has its own problems (like you will need to rotate the image, and rotate different way depending odd page or even page).
This is obviously a design flaw. If the product testers have tried to scan book, they will immediately see the problem.
The attached software ABBYY Screenshot Reader does not work on my Windows 7 edition (there is no instructions saying which version of OS the software supports). I have it installed anyway, but then found it cannot be opened. The annoying thing is the computer keeps asking if I should allow ABBYY to access internet. If it cannot even be opened, why does it try to access internet. To download trojans?

This was a great scanner 5 years ago when it was newer and functioned properly. Can't use the copy utility feature anymore with current drivers and it is difficult to even use period. If an old copier that may or may not funtion is what you are looking for, try your local thrift stores, they have old junk like this cheaper.

Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL Scanner Review

Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL Scanner
Average Reviews:

I thought the scanner was great, but the lamp went out just after 1 year after I bought it. So now all my scans have a rainbow line from top to bottom. Microtek's extent of technical support is reinstall the drivers, if that doesn't work you have to return it so we can repair it, because there are no authorized repair people out there, but us. They will not sell me the lamp, because they need to repair it themselves (they want the labor dollars). So, after I paid $1,400 for this thing a year ago I am going to have to pay another $200-300 for repair and shipping both ways.
