For many years, IBM sold the IBM InfoPrint 4247 printers and their customers assumed they were actually built by IBM. But here’s the secret…
Compuprint 4247-Z03 Serial Dot Matrix Printer Highlights:
The IBM 4247 never was really “BUILT BY IBM”!
They were all manufactured to IBM’s specifications by the Italian company Compuprint.
Compuprint continues to offer the very same products that they built for IBM, available as the Compuprint 4247 Family.
The top of the line is the tough 4247-Z03. Many customers favor the 4247-Z03, the toughest and highest speed of the three models available. Also available from Compuprint are the 4247-X03 and 4247-L03, described at the bottom of this webpage.

Q: How is the Compuprint 4247-Z03 like the fleet of Southwest Airlines planes?
