Followed the quick installation guide, insert the CD to ROM, choose wireless, however the stuck at connecting printer, time out after waiting for 10 minutes. intially suspect it is related to default OOTB 1 minute autosleep, adjust to longer time. still the same problem -- the installation from the CD failed to detect the printer, although I had the USB cable connected. Real bad user experience, I started to regret chose this brand.
Thinking not right time to call the hot line at weekend night, while daytime I need to work. Does it mean I need to take half day to stay at to call service centre and follow the instruction.
Searched to hard copy manual comes with the box, have to read the guide again and again, finally I paid attention the sentence "use the CDROM and download installer from www.samsung.com/printersetup " . I started to guess something with the installer from CDROM.
Tried my luck to download the installer online, in few steps, the new installer detect the wireless printer in few seconds. I had spent new two hours for that buggy installer from CDROM.
What if customer not so techy like me? Isn't that very bad user experience?
Next I tested with mobile app "samsung mobile print" smoothly.
My final challenge is print from my Ubuntu PC, which I never thought when I decided to buy a laser print.
Tried to add a printer from Ubuntu, but failed to find right model.
Googled and find there is Driver for Linux, thanks to Samsung.

The filename I downloaded is ULD_v1.00.29.tar.gz.
tar xvfz it
cd uld
sudo ./install.sh
