You can not connect to a Windows GDI driver through NI VISA! Windows has captured that device and assigned its installed driver and manages all the printing requests through the Windows GDI or optionally XPS API.

 

As explained here, sending a "raw" print job to a printer has been getting rather hard under Windows 8 and later. You may try his solution explained on that page or look at the source code and use the mentioned .Net component directly.
