HP Jetdirect 250M User Manual page 132

HP recommends that all printers be assigned infinite
leases to avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that
change. Be aware, however, that selecting an unlimited
lease duration for the scope causes all clients in that scope
to have infinite leases.
If you want clients on your network to have finite leases,
you can set the duration to a finite time, but you should
configure all printers as reserved clients for the scope.
8 Skip this step if you have assigned unlimited leases in the
previous step. Otherwise, select Scope and select Add
Reservations to set up your printers as reserved clients.
For each printer, perform the following steps in the Add
Reserved Clients window to set up a reservation for that
printer:
a. Type the selected IP address.
b. Obtain the MAC address or hardware address from
the configuration page, and type this address in the
Unique Identifier box.
c. Type the client name (any name is acceptable).
d. Select Add to add the reserved client. To delete a
reservation, in the DHCP Manager window, select
Scope and select Active Leases. In the Active
Leases window, click on the reservation you want to
delete and select Delete.
9 Select Close to return to the DHCP Manager window.
10 Skip this step if you are not planning to use WINS
(Windows Internet Naming Service). Otherwise perform
the following steps when configuring your DHCP server:
a. From the DHCP Manager window, select DHCP
Options and select one of the following:
Scope - if you want Name Services only for the
selected scope.
Global - if you want Name Services for all scopes.
b. Add the server to the Active Options list. From the
DHCP Options window, select WINS/NBNS
Servers (044) from the Unused Options list. Select
Add, then select OK.
A warning may appear requesting that you set the
node type. You do this in step 10d.
c. You must now provide the IP address of the WINS
server by doing the following:
d. Select Value, then Edit Array.
