    I bought a Mimaki cg60sr plotter. It doesn't want to communicate with Inkscape.The previous plotter was configured as Inkscape/extensions/export/drawing/connection settings/serial port/COM1. The same does not work with the Mimaki plotter, because it does not use a COM port, but a USB port. However, after extension/export/drawing/connection settings/serial port, I type USB in vain, it does not communicate with the plotter. I have attached two pictures of this. What could be the problem? What am I doing wrong?

    I wrote it with a translator, I apologize for the mistakes.

    Are you sure it is a USB-Port? Sometimes the USB-Port on a Plotter ist a COM-Port.

    WIN use a COM- instead of USB-Port if a converter was built into the plotter.

    Thank you for your help.
    I am using Windows 11. In the device manager, if the plotter is not connected, picture 1 is visible. If it is connected, picture 2 is visible. If we click on "MIMAKI USB 1.1 Data Port Controller", the following windows pop up, which makes it seem to me that the plotter is using a USB port (pictures 3-4).
    I still don't know what to enter in the field for the serial port.

    Have you set USB1, USB2, .... USB9 or somethink like this instead of COM1 in Inkscape?

    It shows an USB 1.1 Controller, not the port number 1.1. It could be that WIN 11 do not like these old controller. Is it connected on a new USB3.?-port or an old 1.1?

    Try USB7 instead of COM1 (picture 2 (L4) Port_#0007)

    Or look WIN 11 "setting -> Bluetooth and devices -> Printer and other -> other devices" or device manager

    -Yes, I tried COM1-COM15 or USB1-USB15 instead of COM1
    -It is connected to a USB3 port
