When I turn my computer off at night and back on in the morning, the IP
address of my printer changes so I have to reconfigure the printer port with
the new IP address before I can print. How can I get my printer port IP
address to stay the same?

Not a Word question. Ask your IT team.

You reserve an IP address for the printer on your DHCP server (possibly part
of your router if you are on a home network) assigning it permanently to
your printer. Depending on your printer, you may have to set the printer to
always use that IP address.
