Does Xerox make the laser printers for Samsung?

I ordered a Samsung color laser CLP-300N online. After 24 hours The dealer sent me an email saying the Samsung was on backorder but they would substitute the Xerox 6110N. They stated that Xerox makes the CLP series printers for Samsung. Looking at the stats and physical dim. for both printers they do look identical. I've searched online for several hours this morning trying to find something in B & W that supports what the dealer is saying but have not found anything. I asked the dealer for supporting doc. on this but have net heard back from them. Thanks in advance for any info!

1. i have no idea
2. You most likely will not find anything online about this, if it is true. While the Printer companies do make printers for each other (all of Dell's printers are from lexmark and Samsung), they really do not promote it. On a side note, while the CLP-300N is a cheap color printer, the cost per page is really high, and a friend of mine who has it would love to use it for target practice. Why? Slow, would not print out his business cards. Look at the HP Officejet Pro K5400 series.
3. The dealer has it backwards. Xerox printers, except the wax (solid ink) line, are manufactured by Samsung. They are cross branded printer engines, which is VERY common. Lexmark manufactures Dells and I think HP made the older Canon printer engines. I would not accept the substitute solely for the reason the Xerox cartrdiges cost more than the Samsung.
