Hi,

What is your printer model?

 

From the Start menu click the Settings (gear) icon and select Devices, then click on Printers & Scanners.

Select your printer and click on Open Queue, then click the top Printer menu and select Properties.

Within the Ports tab, which port is selected?

it will not let me change the setting. I have the port box open but cannot change anyting

HP Recommended

On the "General" tab there should be a "Change Properties" button that will give you Admin privileges to make the change. One you've checked the WSD box, click apply to make the change, should have immediate effect.
