Couldn't print to this printer: Failed to copy file to printer. Error shown while using mike42

Question

Im working on PHP based web application for booking. The guest room owner wants to use Black Copper BC-90AC thermal printer, which is USB printer for generating receipt. So I want to use mike42/escpos-php for the purpose. I have included the library into my project using composer install, however when I run a test page, I get following error.

Warning: copy(\DESKTOP-5O5GGB3\Receipt Printer): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\xampp\htdocs\myproject\escpos-php\src\Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\WindowsPrintConnector.php on line 378 Couldn't print to this printer: Failed to copy file to printer

Whether I connect thermal printer to my laptop or not, I get this error. Please suggest where Im doing wrong.

Here is the php example code which is giving me above error:

<?php
 require_once __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php';
 use Mike42\Escpos\Printer;
 use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\WindowsPrintConnector;

 try {
    $connector = new WindowsPrintConnector("myprinter");

    /* Print a "Hello world" receipt" */
    $printer = new Printer($connector);
    $printer -> text("Hello World!\n");
    $printer -> cut();

    /* Close printer */
    $printer -> close();
 } catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Couldn't print to this printer: " . $e -> getMessage() . "\n";
 }

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Share the printer from printer settings and it should work.
