I've been using Samsung products for a long time. They were among the
first to support Linux. Their products are inexpensive to purchase
and their supplies are affordable as well.
Some of the more snooty don't like them because the don't issue "open
source" drivers.
I have a Samsung CLX3175FN Laser , Driver CLX3170 series from Samsung
Download site.
It worked great up to Fedora 15 not in F16, F17 I was told something in
F16 change and it won't print. The driver that Samsung presently has
does not work .
