Go to 'Devices and Printers', right-click your printer, and select 'Printer properties'. Go to the 'Ports' tab. Ensure the correct port is selected (usually USB001 for USB printers or an IP address for network printers). Try selecting 'Detect Printer Port' if you're unsure. If using a network printer, verify the IP address matches the printer's actual IP address.
