Port Configuration Error:An error occurreduring port configuration. This operation is not supported

[Harun1]

So lately I've been trying to print and it says that my Printer is offline. I've been watching a couple videos and they all say to go to properties of the printer and then go to ports and click configure port. The problem is when I try to click it it says, "An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported." and so I can't configure the port to uncheck the SNMP box. Please I need help quickly. 

Thanks, 

Harun

Hi @Harun1,

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

I understand that the printer is offline.

Don't worry I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Is the printer connected to the network?

Is it a wired or wireless connection?

I suggest you do a Hard Reset

(1) Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

(2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

(3) With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

(4) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

(5) Wait at least 60 seconds.

(6) Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

 NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.

(7) Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

(8) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Hi - I also have been having problems configuring my port (which I am trying to do to get my printer from offline to online).  I did the suggested Hard reset: turned printer on, unplugged from the printer, from the wall, waited 60 seconds, plugged inot wall then printer back in, and it still says offline.  This has helped before but it is not working anymore.  I am using Windows 10 1803.  I cannot find a way to get my printer to online.  Please help!

Thanks
