Samsung MultiXpress SL-X4220RX: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Samsung MultiXpress SL-X4220RX right for you?

The SL-X4220RX is an A3 colour copier from Samsung's MultiXpress line, notable for its Android-based 10.1-inch Smart UX Center panel that let dealers install apps directly on the copier. It was sold under service contracts rather than at retail, so most owners rely on a dealer for parts. HP now provides the drivers and firmware, and the Android panel no longer receives app updates, but core copy, print, scan and fax functions remain solid.

Setting up the Samsung MultiXpress SL-X4220RX

Drivers come from support.hp.com under 'Samsung MultiXpress X4220RX'; the Samsung Universal Print Driver covers mixed fleets. Configure the machine through its SyncThru Web Service over Ethernet: set admin credentials, SMTP for scan-to-email and SMB or FTP destinations for scan-to-folder. Dealers may have locked the service menus, so contact the original supplier for resets.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the toner cartridge and drum unit, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Samsung's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Samsung MultiXpress SL-X4220RX uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• CLT-K808S black toner
• CLT-C808S / CLT-M808S / CLT-Y808S colour toners
• CLT-R808 imaging units
• CLT-W808 waste toner container

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
