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.

Still Used for Business Forms
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.
Pros:
- Durable Construction
- Fast Operation
- Reliable

Epson LQ-590 Dot Matrix printer
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.

Lasted for years
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.
Pros:
- -Lasted for years
- -Works well from printing invoices
- statements
- etc
Cons:
- -Its a dot matrix
- its loud but gets the job done

"The little Dot Matrix that Could"
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.
Pros:
- good function

Epson LQ-590 Dot Matrix Printer
I had an older version of this printer for years. It was slow and the paper got stuck no matter what I did. I did a lot of research and after calling many places decided to try the new version and I''m glad I did. This is an awesome printer.
Pros:
- Fast printing
- Able to get my work done in half of the time
- Lightweight, easy to program
Cons:
- None
- so far

Great Printer
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.
