Zebra thermal printer KR203 being detected as unspecified device, not as printer.

We have multiple KIOSK systems connected to Zebra KR203 printer. The printer used to work with Windows 10 1909 update but with the security updates (20h2 or 21h1), printer stopped working.

We performed below steps to create a driver which can support Zebra KR203 printer. Please suggest if we are missing something.

• We setup a development machine to work on this issue and installed Visual Studio 2019 and Windows Driver Kit Version 10.0.19041.685.
  
• Uninstalled pre-installed Zebra printer driver.
  
• Created a new project of type “V4 printer driver” on VS2019.
  
• In the Create a V4 Print Driver Wizard, under Choose the driver rendering type:, selected V4 print driver with custom rendering filters (accepts XPS only). Kept other setup settings as default. After project is created, verified the necessary files after the creation of project as suggested by document. Followed the steps from the link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/print/building-a-basic-v4-printer-driver
  
• Configured the target machine as per “Configure the driver solution for debugging and deployment” steps provided. Result: Complete
  
• We are currently in “Build and deploy the driver” step of the link mentioned above. Result: Builds successfully but driver output states “please select a valid target machine for deployment from the project property page”.
  

NOTE:

One day the printer started giving prints from MS word (windows 10 20H2 version), which was not working earlier. We tried to test the printer on another system following the same steps, but when we again connected the printer back to development machine, it stopped working and now it is not being detected as a printer, rather being detected as an unspecified device. (with or without Zebra’s own drivers)

 

Printer not detected

I bought a canon pixma 2540s printer 2 days ago and I finished the installations from the cd and it worked , I closed my laptop and the next day the laptop made an update , the printer installation was gone and every time I try to reinstall it reaches
step 3 which is connecting the printer to the laptop and it says " cant be detected I tried to do it manually the laptop keep refusing to read the printer and I'm 100% sure that it's connected and that the usb is working, sometimes it would say that the printer
is detected for like 2 seconds and then it goes back to not detected .
