Hello,

I have a Hewlett Packard B209 wireless networked printer. Basically it stands alone on the local network and is tied in to the network via one of our wireless access points.

When the printer is turned on it automatically grabs an IP address on the network via DHCP. While this tends to work fine it sometimes creates issues for some devices if/when the lease expires and/or the ip number changes.

What I am looking for is a way to set a static IP address for the printer. I went through the entire setup on the printer and cannot see any means to set a static IP address or hostname on the printer. Does anyone have any idea how this can be done ?

Another alternative would be to make sure DHCP always assigns the same ip addy to the printer. Anyone know how to set it up to give the same addy to a specific device ?

Any help is appreciated.
