Epson LQ-590II Monochrome Dot Matrix Printer

I am an accountant that has clients that utilize software that must be printed on a dot matrix. We have been looking to replace a worn out printer but could not quite find what we needed. This printer arrived early and works great. It is a workhorse. Great printer for the price. Couldn't be happier with my experience regarding price and shipping. Would definitely buy from this seller again.

This product arrived with the tractor sitting in a plastic bag in the box. The instruction manual did not really help with respect to the installation of the tractor. After spending 45 minutes unsuccessfully trying to make the tractor work by repeatingly attempting to insert the tractor in the printer every which way, I gave up and sent it back. Kind of like buying a brand new car and having to install the wheels!

So far the This Printer is Functioning Good. I've only had it a few day's so I can't say anything about durability. I went with a 24 pin Dot Matrix, cause that's what I had before(Fujitsu DL3400) and it lasted 34 year's, with Letter Quality Printing. The Ribbon Cartridge's cost about 10 to 14 $'s, and last a long time. Operateing Cost is Very Important to me. I selected another Font on the printer that wasn't Draft to get Letter Quality Print. This Printer also has a LOW NOISE SETTING, for those that need it. I only needed Tractor Feed, Black Print, Letter Quality, Low Operateing Cost, and Long Durability, so I'm really glad that these 24 Pin are still available. I used a Parallel to USB Printer Cable that I allready had and it work's perfect. It came with a CD Rom for loading the Driver and Work's Great with Window's 10. The CD handled the complete install,, so that made it really ease to connect to Window's 10. So far I don't have anything bad to say about this printer, but be sure to read the instruction's before putting it together and the Printer Manual is on the CD (For English) in the "EN" Manual File. I downloaded mine onto my Desktop so that I can store the CD for safe keeping. You may find it helpful to Search for and Watch Online Video's on How to Assemble and Set Up Your LQ590ii Printer. To install the Rear Tractor Pull Start Reading on PG 31. The Paper Tensioner has to be REMOVED. For those that need the Wide Carriage, I think maybe the LQ 2090ii look's like it might be it. Epson told me that they are still makeing Dot Matrix Printer's so there are still those that know how good they are. Dot Matrix is Old School for Sure,, but for many of us it's still the Best for what We Need. ***Update 9/7/23*** It's been 1 year and so far so good. No Problem's and The Print is Nice and Black. I did watch some Video's when Setting up the printer which really helped. Old School for Sure,, but Really Really Glad that I Stayed with Dot Matrix, for Durability and Low Operation Cost. Don't be a Day Late and a Dollar Short, Get You one while they are Still Available.
