Are you trying to assign a specific IP address via DHCP from a Linux
server? If so, you could configure dhcpd to assign a specific address
based on the MAC address on the printer's label. If the MAC address on
the label is incorrect, assign it a random address, ping that address,
and then arp -a to get it's MAC. Then update dhcpd to assign a given
address to the MAC reported by arp. See the man file for dhcpd.conf for
more info.
