Windows 10: Printer Connectivity and Workgroup name change.

I want to change the workgroup name of my laptop by the tab for changing network if appears grey. I tried doing certain things changing driver settings and all but to no avail. Also I installed a new printer driver through DVD and it's only running when connected through wire else the printer isn't working. I did the thing and unchecked the USE PRINTER OFFLINE from printer setting. I want to connect it with other computers in my office.
