default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.69.255;
allow bootp;

# HINT: dynamic-bootp-lease 600;

subnet 192.168.69.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range dynamic-bootp 192.168.69.20 192.168.69.21;

	host print-server {
		hardware ethernet 00:40:c8:04:03:db;
		fixed-address 192.168.69.20;
	}
}

Notice two points:

1) You must use the "dynamic-bootp" flat on the "range" statement for
   dhcpd to recognize BOOTP requests in addition to DHCP requests.

2) The "host" statement must be located within its associated
   "subnet" declaration.
