Like I suggested, I would create "static" reservations in the DHCP scopes that serve each subnet. Baring that, most of the JetDirects etc... can be administered through a web interface. Plug in the IP address that was dynamically assigned into a web browser, and change the address mode from Dynamic to Static, and assign one. But you will have to do it differently for each manufacturer/model/firmware combination. Which is why I lean toward the Reservation model...

In the past we used Jet direct cards and Jet direct management console to map Mac address to static IPs. This way when printers are rest they would not lose the IP settings. How can I have all my printers assigned static IPs, and make sure they don't lose settings upon hard/soft reset, i.e. if powered down or disconnected? Thanks very much in advance Mustafa
