Windows 10: WIndows 11 USB001 port

Hello Community,I have 2 label printers same brand & model that I need to connect to a desktop with Windows 11. First printer connected successfully via USB001 port; however, when I connect 2nd printer, it still use the same USB001 port and take over the first printer. I checked the printer properties, both printers listed in the same USB001 port. How can I get both printers to work? or how to add another USB port for 2nd printer. Doesn't work if I manually create USB002

Windows 10, HP Desktop: No USB001 Virtual port in drop-down list of printer ports

Windows 10, HP Desktop: No USB001 Virtual port in drop-down list of printer ports

After upgrading to Win 10 from Win 7 Pro, Brother MFC 8500 stopped working.

Printer works with Surface Pro 3 that has USB ports listed in printer port drop down menu.

Tried everything I've read so far on the interwebz.

It appears to be specific to my machine.

What to do?

USB001 Printer Port Not in Drop-Down List (Windows 10) - HOW TO ADD a Virtual Printer Port

Hello,

My Printer will not work. I have tried uninstalling the Printer and hoping that Windows 10 will see it but it cannot see the Printer at all. I have tried uninstalling the Driver and downloading the HP Software and Driver again but Windows 10 still does
not see the Printer when rebooted. I have tried uninstalling the USB connections listed in the Device Manager but Windows 10 still does not see the Printer when rebooted. Finally, I figured out that I could manually add the Printer (HP LaserJet Pro MFP M130fw)
via (HP LaserJet MFP M129-M134 PCLm-S) so now at least it shows on the Control Panel Printer's Area but STILL Windows 10 does not see the Printer. I assume it is because it is physically connected to the PC via a USB cable and the Printer Port "LPT1" needs
to change to "USB001" Virtual Printer Port. I followed the instructions to add a Printer but it says to choose "USB001" Printer Port in the drop-down list but USB001 does not exist. Then I tried the instructions below*** but it did not work because \\computer
name\printer name displayed the error message "Local Port: the network name cannot be found". I managed to create my "Computer Name" under "Network" but don't know how to put the "Printer Name" file there. Please HELP because I am extremely frustrated and
I am sure this is some simple fix --- HOW do I CREATE a USB001 Virtual Printer Port so Windows 10 will actually SEE my Printer?
