Hm. I think they were more than simply branded... Just looking at the boxes
shows they are of completely different shapes, and I don't think, for
instance, you can exchange parts from the transport mechanism. I downloaded
a PDF for an HP printer once, thinking it would help me with my Iig, but it
looked so different for the most part, that I gave up trying...
I think that they rely on the same imaging engine, but beyond that, the
differences start to mount. Surely somebody on this list knows for sure...
