    The printer has a front feeder that makes it easy to feed small items, along with bottom and rear feeds for forms, etc.

    This printer even has a USB connection, so you're not stuck needing an old parallel port.

    The only quibble I have: my old 1989 Panasonic KX-P1124i printer had a button that would load the paper & the printer would stay offline until you turned it back online...when feeding sheets, that let me ensure the paper was properly loaded before the printer started printing. This Epson replaced it when the old one died...unfortunately, the Epson has an automatic feed and begins printing as soon as it thinks the paper is loaded. If I get a misfeed, it starts printing when I am not ready. I can live with it..but wish there was a better way (and, there may be...I just haven't found it yet).

      Comments about Epson® LQ-590 Dot Matrix Printer:

      I purchased this printer, July 1991, and I can tell you, I LOVE MY PRINTER !! I would never ever change it for a printer that has cartridges! I recently went to purchase a USB cable for it, and the manager wanted to purchase it from me. He said, it looked like I had just taken it out of the box. I take very good care of it, and put a plastic cover on it, everynight when I shut off my pc.

        Used every day for years. It simply goes and goes. Outlasts other printers 10x. We replace the printhead every 2 years when it wears out.

          How dose the Epson LQ-590 print envelopes. Small "thankyou" card envelopes?
          Asked on 9/2/2011 by Anonymous

          2 answers

          • A:

            This printer prints envelopes through either the top or bottom feeder. The top feeder has adjusters, so you can adjust according to paper size to prevent jams and misalignment. The bottom feeder is your best option for small thank you cards because it is easier to feed small items in the bottom feeder.

            A:

            A dot matrix printer is a pin fed printer. Unfortunately, this machined would not be able to print "Thank You" envelopes. If you need to print envelopes, we would suggest purchasing a laser or inkjet printer. To place an order for this item, please contact us at 1-800-333-3330.

            A:

            I apologize, but this is not Mac compatible. It is only compatible with Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP and NT 4.0. Unfortunately, we do not carry any dot matrix printers that are Mac compatible. However, we may be able to special order an item that will meet your needs. Please contact us at 800-333-3330 for further assistance.

          • A:

            This printer includes bottom feeding for tractor paper, the manufacturer does not specify push or pull. Front and rear feeding of tractor paper is also included. There is no "standard" option but rear or bottom feed is more common.
