It's worth checking out the photo of the 1404 printer on that
Wikipedia page
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IBM_1403_Printer_opened.jpg) - it's
a work of art - all metal, with bakelite knobs. Makes my home printer seem very flimsy.
I worked a 1403 for many a year. Beautiful things indeed. I wonder if that's because IBM originally rented them out? My pair of 1403 N1 printers had a 'lines printed' counter on the back.

That was a great printer, a true work horse, even had hydraulic fluid in the thing.
I remember the first time I had a huge stack of printed green bar reports sitting on top of one.
And, it ran of paper and the darn top of the printer opened up on me, what a mess.
New operator initiation ... LOL. Good days for sure though.
It was attached to an IBM 360/65 with an IBM type writer for the console.
Now, calculate the track capacity for a 3340/3348 model 70 disk drive ... have fun.
