HP uses WSD for connectivity by default, and not TCP/IP. That is what you are seeing. Completely normal

Also that connection will get a DHCP Address. If you put a Static IP on the printer (I always do) , it still defaults to WSD

I always static IP my printers. Would like a little more detail on WSD. Is that a protocol?

When you look at the &quot;ports&quot; HP network computers are on (and others. not just HP) it shows something like &quot;WDP34FCD&quot;. Where and how does that port get translated to an IP address?

When you look at the "ports" HP network computers are on (and others. not just HP) it shows something like "WDP34FCD". Where and how does that port get translated to an IP address?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
