Sorry not quite the same, why a reservation and not a permenant address?

I must chime in here.
I have never used a software package that screwed up more than HP Jet Admin.
Even Tivoli! ;-)
You are best off attacking it this way:
1. Plug it into the network, and let it get a DHCP address.
2. Find out, either by printing a status page or looking in your DHCP logs,
what the new IP and MAC address are.
3. Choose what IP you want the printer to be, and create a reservation in
DHCP for the MAC address and that IP.
4. Restart the printer, and verify that the new IP address was allocated
correctly.
5. On a server somewhere (or on each client machine, but a server is far
preferable) go into the add printer wizard
6. On the Ports page, choose "Add a new port" and choose "Standard TCP/IP
port".
7. Enter the IP address, and usually (at least for HP network print servers)
the port is PORT_1.
8. Choose a driver and print a test page.
9. Share the print queue on the server. Redirect all client machines to the
server's network printer as normal.
Hope this makes sense,

Hi Rod
The printer may be set-up to pick up a DHCP address when you plug it into a
port then you should be able to either telnet to that ip or more likely http
into it and it'll have some basic config page where you can give it a
dedicated ip and sort out protocols, settings etc. Then once you've given it
an address you can set it up from your print server.
I have not used brother but most 'network ready' devices work in a similar
way, there may also be some software from brother needed which will
'discover' the printer once it's networked. Like Jet admin for HP?

connectors
I've got a new Brother printer at work. They all seem to come with a =
RF-45
connector and the claim that they are "network ready".
My problem is I have no idea how to make this "network ready" printer
available as a network device. The only way I've ever made a printer
available, is by connecting it directly to a PC of some sort. How do I =
make
something that, I suppose, doesn't connect directly to a printer, a =
"network
device"?
