Hi Rolf,
a step back. My question was : what could be the reason that I don't have the installation option "install the generated files ..." in the VISA Wizard?

Did the wizard generate an ini file for you?
What did you select in the previous windows in the wizard ?
What is your plan with this driver?
What would you like to do with the printer?

Windows 10 and 11 only will allow to install signed device drivers. Your VISA INF file is a device driver as far as Windows is concerned.
Also you can only install device drivers if the process has elevated admin rights. Yes that means that being logged in as Admin is not enough, you need to explicitly start the application as "Start as Admin" even if you are logged in as administrator. To get these options enabled you would probably have to start the Driver Wizard as admin. However without first signing the driver file, that will not help.
And even if you signed the file eventually, you simply have a VISA USB Raw interface. You still need the documentation from Zebra what bytes to send to what endpoint, which endpoint to query, possibly initiate interrupt transfers on some endpoints and yada, yada, yada. Aside that it is usually not possible to get such protocol documentation, even if you would get it you would still swim in deep waters with lots of potential sharks around you. Not something you want to do unless you want to dig into creating your own USB devices (in which case you have to deal with these things on the device side anyways).

Hi Rolf,
I think I have deactivated the driver signature check.
And yes I have started the wizard as administrator.
Could the unavailable option be an indication of an active driver signature check?

I don't really know, but unless you have the full documentation about the low level USB protocol that your device uses, the VISA driver wizard is DEFINITELY NOT what you want to use.
