Hi Jan,


Most routers allow you to set a specific IP address for any MAC address,
even within the dynamically assigned IP range, and it will only assign
those specific IP addresses to the correct MAC addresses.

IIRC You don't have to, but really should, set up the printer to expect
to be assigned an IP address instead of requesting a specific one.

That way you can still count on the printer having a predicable IP on
that network, and if you ever need to move the printer to a different
network (for some people this is a regular thing), you wouldn't have to
reconfigure the printer every time.

Obviously this works for all kinds of devices, not just printers.

Kind regards,
