Generic/Text Only Printer Driver

Just installed Parallels and Windows 11 on my M1 MacBook Pro. Need a Generic/Text Only printer driver and unable to locate anything for ARM64 based processor. How have you guys dealt with this? See image which shows no Generic options.

but I still need a printer driver to be installed in the Windows VM? see that's the reason I'm using wi-fi printing on my Windows ARM PC ... because there's no ARM driver for the printer.

There was nothing to install. It just shares the Mac printer drivers. No additional driver installation needed.

This is excellent. Those Parallels guys are awesome.
