I would give them a static IP if at all possible. I have always done that in the past. -----Original Message----- From: Lee, David (STRATEGIC PROJECTS) [mailto:David.Lee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 8:01 AM To: Windows 2000 Listserve (E-mail) Subject: [windows2000] Printer IP address assignment We are implementing a new Windows 2003 print server as part of a migration from Novell Netware. Whilst we are configuring the printer objects and IP ports, we would also like to standardise the configuration of our network printers (all are HP models). At present, some of these printers have been set up using a locally configured fixed IP address and some via a DHCP reservation - any thoughts on preferred methods or best practice?
