The Genicom 4490XT and the slower Genicom 4470 line printers have hung around for a long time.

Genicom 4490 XT Line Printer Highlights: 

• For a Reliable Replacement Printer
• Genicom 4490XT Line Printer
• Great Printer — Until the Repair Parts Ran Out
• The Genicom 4490XT and the slower Genicom 4470 line printers have hung around for a long time.

 Searching for Repair?

• As long as customers could find repair folks to find parts, get them repaired and back into service, some of these units continue in service even today. Those days and those numbers are quickly dwindling.

Parts and Ribbons?

• Printronix controls the OEM ribbon for this printer, and continues to raise the price for the ribbon. Also, it is much more difficult to locate reliable parts and trained repair technicians for the Genicom 4490 line these days. When a unit fails and the scavenger hunt for parts begins, the reality usually sinks in that it is time to upgrade. Customers are deciding to move to a printer that is more likely to have a brighter future than the venerable 4490 XT.
