MicroLine 590 / 5912DotNot SupportedPASSPASSGeneric Text on XP (tested nothing else)

The Okidata company suggested using the Epson 2550 driver for ML590/591. The Generic/Text Only outputs data too fast on newer computers.

In practice (with Penny) the Citizen 200gz driver understood page length setting hex codes better.

"Okidata dot matrix printers when set to emulate an Okidata or an Epson FX are usually an ACS Type 2, if set to emulate a IBM PPR they are a type 5, but I'd suggest the Epson FX emulation, before any of the others." - John
