How to install Olivetti NomadJet 100S on Windows 10

I have printer Olivetti NomadJet 100S. When I plugged USB to computer, drivers were installed automatically. In popup about installing driver there was mentioned correct model but in Devices and printers it's in category Unspecified. In device manager I can see USB Printing support driver and no warning triangle is shown so it should be working.

How is it possible to move the printer from category Unspecified to category Printers?

Official drivers which I found was from Windows 3.1 till Windows XP. I tried to install the driver for Windows XP, but it does not help. In Amazon website I found that it should work with drivers for Tally t110 or Olivetti JP50 on Windows 8.1. Unfortunatelly I could not find those drivers to test it.


The Olivetti and Tally printers you mentioned (I used a Tally many years ago) are very old.

It is really unlikely modern Windows will have drivers for them.

Try to set them up as generic text printers and try printing monospaced text.

If that does not work, you need newer printers.


The last drivers I could find for this printer were for Windows 2000 or XP. They cannot be used on Windows 10.

I suggest creating a Windows XP virtual machine where to install the printer and driver.

Some driver sites that claim having a good driver:

  • Easy Driver Updater
  • PcDrivers.Guru

I can't vouch for any of the above.
