Xerox buying Lexmark's printer division

[thewayne]

Kind of interesting news. A $1.5b transaction, inclusive of debt and other assumed liabilities. I owned a Lexmark laser printer back 15 years ago, it was pretty good - quite the workhorse. But that was when they were an IBM spinoff, before they went to China.

Xerox makes or made pretty good gear, it'll be interesting to see what the result of this acquisition produces. I wish they'd also brought in their laptop division, but that would have been kind of outside of Xerox's wheelhouse.

I think in the consumer market, Lexmark would have more brand name recognition and value than Xerox.  That might be the value that they see.  Hard to say.
