Windows 10: Strange internet connection... Printer related?

I did a windows 10 update last night and after all was said and done I had a strange internet connection that I did not add or recognize. When I right click on it the only option that is available is the connect. How do I get rid of this. I cannot find it anywhere else. The strange part is the name is Direct-92301990, the last numbers on my printer is the 301990. Could it be my printer?

Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer


@dk1971

1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig
   
   
   
2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
   Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
   NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
