Brother Compactronic I
I have a CLP-300 and upgraded the firmware to the new version on their website v1.00.12.35. DON'T DO IT!!! My printer has factory-original toner and this firmware upgrade made my printer a piece of crap.
With the new firmware, the text output is much thicker and fuzzier, the nice grayscale contrast is gone and replaced with much darker tones, and there are ERRORS in the graphics that show up as squiggly white lines. I'm appalled that Samsung released this firmware into the wild as it's effectively crippled my printer's output and makes even simple sheet of text look unpresntable.
I've written Samsung twice asking for some resolution, but haven't received a reply. This is horrible. I'm ready to throw my printer out the window and buy a Brother.

Aug 11, 2011 - If you have a Samsung CLP-310 or CLP-315 you have probably. To your firmware ie 1.29.11.52 or 1.29.01.17 then reprogram the chip. Samsung CLP-300 Firmware Upgrade a serious mistake.
