Purchased this printer 3 months ago and it worked great till a couple of days ago. Spent hours trying to get it to connect and print again with no luck. Connected to a different PC and had the same problem. Talked with Epson support person and he had me redo everything I had already tried...

This product arrived with a front panel that was unclosable. I had to take the panel from my old broken printer and put it on the printer I had just bought from Walmart. Also, on one side of the printer, the top was actually unattached to the bottom; the top could be lifted from the bottom at the...

Printer as described and works great. It works great for carbon printing. What a time saver! This Printer has 24 verses most only have 9 pin printing.

Comments about Epson LQ-590: It's a much better solution than a laser or inkjet in a dirty auto garage setting. It's great for printing receipts, and the non-tech savvy folks in the shop have no problems changing ribbon or clearing jams.

Durable Construction; Fast Operation; Reliable

Ordered this for a customer as they were the only suppliers with stock. However, despite asking for the invoice to be forwarded to me they enclosed it in the box for my customer to receive. NOT a HAPPY customer at all.

We purchased this machine as a replacement for our last dot matrix (the exact same model). Our previous LQ-590 lasted for years with heavy use and worked well with Quickbooks invoices, statements, etc. It was an easy choice to purchase another LQ-590 when the last one finally wore out.

-Lasted for years; -Works well from printing invoices; statements; etc

-Its a dot matrix; its loud but gets the job done

One might ask why anyone would want a dot matrix printer, with inkjet and laser printers available at very affordable prices. While I agree wholeheartedly that given a choice I would not choose a dot matrix. They're loud, can only print in shades of gray, and the print quality is not so great.

good function

I've worked with my company for 29 years. Very dusty, dirty construction environment. This is our 3rd LQ-590. Amazing the way this printer holds up day after day, year after year.

This is the 5th one. It replaces our last Epson LQ-870 that finally gave up. Compared to other brands, the ribbon life is great and the durability is super.
