I agree with Neil. Printers with static IP addresses are easier to configure and manage.

I favour static IP addresses over DHCP assigned as most of our printers have built in webservers which you can use to configure various things on the printers. I specifically gave our printers static IP addresses using telnet (rather than DHCP reservations) so that I wouldn't have to re-create DHCP reservations on all of our DHCP servers. Neil.
