Explanation

When adding a network printer to a workstation, a TCP/IP port is used because the printer is connected via the network and addressed by its IP address (or hostname). The workstation communicates with the printer over the network using TCP/IP protocols (commonly port 9100 for raw printing or port 631 for IPP). USB and LPT (parallel port) are physical local connection interfaces. COM is a serial port interface. None of those apply to a networked print queue.
