static ip for printer

I have the nighthawk wifi 6 (ax) router and am looking for assistance in setting up a static IP for a printer. Am not sure where to put it in the router. Am thinking in Advanced Setup, static Routes....

    Just so you know, Static IPs are set ON devices, not the router. IP address reservations are set ON the router.

Maybe it is working. Do you have a problem with the printer?
