Used zadig to make this work. If this is still an open thread you can let me know. But major drawback of this is on every Windows OS you have to install zadig and configure USB properties which is going to be real pain and not a scalable option at all.

I'm facing this issue, could you explain what configurations you made to USB properties in order to make it work, thanks. – Omar Herrera Jan 15 '20 at 06:13
If you have windows 8.1 or windows 10 - this link would help in setting up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zRMv80y6PY If you have windows 7 you need to reboot and follow the same steps – Aditya Jan 20 '20 at 08:56

finally i was solved with zadig in windows, same like info in repo

the step in the windows case:

download zadig
open zadig > options > list All Devices
in my case select "micro-printer" (which one printer in ur usb)
install driver and works well in code *but in windows can't print manually
