How To Install Olivetti Pr2 Plus Printer On Windows - 10

Step 1: Prepare Your Printer and Computer

- Parallel (IEEE 1284): Older, but reliable. Requires a PCIe parallel card or a USB-to-parallel adapter (not always recommended).
- Serial (RS-232): Common in legacy banking systems. Requires a USB-to-serial (DB25) adapter.
- USB Type B: The easiest method. The printer has a standard USB-B port (square-shaped).
Step 2 — Obtain the correct driver
1. Download the official Olivetti PR2 Plus driver for Windows 10 from Olivetti’s support site or from the documentation disc that came with the device. If an official Windows 10 driver is unavailable, use the most recent Windows driver listed for the PR2 Plus (e.g., Windows 7/8/8.1) — often compatible.
2. Save the driver package to a known folder and unzip it if compressed.
- If using USB: Select USB001 (or the highest numbered USB port available).
- If using a Parallel Adapter: Select LPT1 (or the virtual port created by your adapter).
- Tip: If you aren't sure, check the Ports tab in the printer properties later to switch this.
Note: If you are using a USB-to-Parallel adapter, ensure it is plugged in and Windows recognizes the adapter itself before proceeding.

Alternatively, if you cannot find a specific PR2 driver, you can sometimes use the IBM Graphics 9pin driver as a fallback.
