When I heard that I was going to be reviewing Samsung's SCX-4100, I was initially surprised that they had put together a laser printer / scanner combination for such a low price. Their lowest priced laser, the ML-1740, retails for around $100, so my initial guess was that the SCX-4100 was probably built off of the same laser printer technology as the ML-1740 with a low-priced scanner thrown on top. This turns out to basically be the case. But this is actually a great product.
