Since when is 39,400 equal to 40,000?

Last time I checked, it was about 600 numbers away from 40,000. You may as well as say that Lexmark is recalling a hundred gajillion million billion printers if you don't want to be accurate that is.

The difference, at $200 a printer, is about $12,000 of value, plus shipping, handling and repair costs, which could inflate that price difference up around $17,000 to $20,000.
