It always baffled me too -- I eventually decided there were about 15
different printers for Lexmark, IBM and I think Dell and some other
company -- that used the same printer engine, with basically, bolt-on
additions for different uses -- and the easiest way to deal with it from
the Lexmark service view, was to lump them together as the 4049 for
support.
