give network printer same ip each time it asks for an ip
hi i have a hp officejet printer that connects through wireless. Every once in a while when the power goes out, if it doesn't come on in the exact order it will get a different ip address then normal. Other computers on the network have its ip stored in some setting file or something because once that happens they cannot find the printer. Is there a way to get my amahi server to always give this printer the same ip that it took the first time I attached it to the network?
Re: give network printer same ip each time it asks for an ip
In the HDA settings, goto networking and static IPs. This way you can tell your HDA to associate a certain device with a specific IP. In order to do this you just associate your Printer's MAC address with the IP address of your choice.

You can also go to Network > Aliases after you setup a static IP and set it up for printer.home.com (or whatever you set your home domain as).
Having problems with connecting to the internet? Try the Network Troubleshooter.
Not sure what your Gateway IP? Head on over to the Find Your Gateway IP page to find out easily.

BK is correct and this may work better, as the printer will get the same *name* every time, better than the same IP every time.
Noone should need to use IP addresses any more after installing Amahi!

but without it the internet wouldn't work the way it does now. And it's not that hard.IP addresses are hideous

hmmm I sense a little off-topic debate coming heheh
what I mean is that people _should_ know what that IP thingy means in very basic terms (i.e. it's an address) and usually in the 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x ranges. Also that addresses should be unique. The basic stuff.
what they should _not_ need to know is subnetting, routing etc. that's for us non-normal humans (i.e. the technology priests/shamans with their weird incantations like grep, awk, etc.)
