1448770 2018-04-23 03:05:00 I have a brother MFC installed as wireless thru my router . They work .

I have 2 printers listed though . Under ports, one is listed as WSD . The other is standard TCP/IP with a IP address number .

What are differences between these two?
Windows 10 .

1448771 2018-04-23 03:26:00 WSD is a port Monitor, Not an actual IP port as such.


The WSD is not a port, but a port monitor. A port monitor looks at the information coming in from the TCP/IP port and makes changes or routing depending on what comes into the port.
