It may be the death of Lexmark, only time will tell.  I can say that it may have many in the Industry worried.  Say you own a large Canon dealer and were using Lexmark too capture your customers printer / a4 devices.  This sale might open the door for the KM account manager to take over the entire fleet, replace the Canon copiers and service the Lexmark Printers.  Or, if you are a manufacture who is using Lexmark for the same reason, but your potential operating costs are going to be on the rise in the future. This on top of your parent company experiencing problems might move you close to being sold off. 

I see this as a potential boost for Oki and Kyrocera as they can fill the void when independents and others companies drop Lexmark.

Many years ago someone somewhere told me that when the higher up execs are buying up shares of stock, then something is could be on the horizon.
