Same printer, diff retailer part nos: ...B006; ...B008AA; ...B009

I'm interested in a particular printer, but have noticed the retailers have slightly different part nos. for it.

Does anyone know what do these nos. refer to?

Firmware?

Manufacturing cycles?

    Usually makes the printer/bundle unique to that retailer. Could be something like the inks in Retailer A's printers are 10ml, whilst Retailer B's have 12ml, or one is supplied with a cable and sample of paper, the other has neither...

    This is one rather sneaky way of getting around the price match statement that "If you find the identical item on sale elsewhere at a lower price, we'll beat it"
    How do I add a signature?

    I think in this case, what is being sold is just the boxed printer, with nothing else thrown in.

    I think I made a mistake. The nos. are the manufacturer codes, not retailer codes, so might refer to different batches of the printer.

    Thanks.
