Dougie,
I had a Samsung color a few years ago and it was not a true laser, more of an Led. It was slow to warm up and print and jammed too much I thought. Let me make a surprise move and push for Lexmark. I like the Lexmark color because its fast and you don't load in full cartridges all the time which are big and bulky but instead load in only ink for them. The price isn't bad and I havehad great service out of them. I am surprised to see the same model I bought 3 years ago still for sale though I paid a lot more for it :

The longest lasting have always been HP. I just bought a new Laser, Fax, Copier when my Kyocera Copier neede a new drum and those are just way too expensive for the amount of copies I make these days:
