Genicom partners with Codehost Inc. to make printer drivers and apps
available for clients running Unix and Linux


Los Angeles, CA - January 8, 2002 - Codehost Inc., -- Genicom has reached an
agreement with Los Angeles-based Codehost Inc. to offer Linux applications
and drivers for all laser, line matrix and serial printer lines.
Compatibility with the Unix and Linux operating systems is now available
through Codehost's Printer Packages.

These packages include drivers, print job managers, configuration tools, and
installers and other scalable applications, making Genicom printers user
friendly for the rapidly growing Linux market and the established Unix users.
The Codehost Printer Package provides an easy-to-use Windows-like environment
that until now was not available for Linux or Unix.

According to Forrester Group, the global Linux market currently represents
$15 billion and by 2004, Linux is expected to be a $75 billion industry.

"This growth represents an unparalled opportunity for hardware companies like
Genicom to gain new customers and additional revenue," according to Codehost
District Sales Manager, Bardia Mohseni. "However, they must establish
themselves now in order to take advantage of the market later."

Current and future Genicom clients running Linux will purchase the license
and support from Codehost. Additionally, Codehost will provide customization
of this package and other Linux development services for clients based on
their unique needs.
