The printer port settings define how your computer communicates with the printer. Ensure the correct port is selected during the printer installation process. Often, the default USB port or the printer's network address will be used. Incorrect port settings can prevent the printer from being recognized and set as the default. Sometimes, trying a different port (e.g., changing from USB to a virtual port) can resolve the issue.
