You only need the host stanzas for the workstations that you want to
have static IP addresses. In your case, that is probably only the host
with the attached printer.
Make sure you also have one of the following entries in your dhcpd.conf
file:
use-host-decl-names on;
OR:
get-lease-hostnames true;
MAKE SURE you don't have both of those set, as they'll conflict with
each other.
If you want to assign the hostname specified in dhcpd.conf 'host ws001
{' then you'll need the first line 'use-host-decl-names on;'. But, if
you want to assign the hostname by looking up the address in either
/etc/hosts, or by doing a reverse lookup on your dns server, then use
the 2nd entry.
Take a look at:

for more info.

You'll need the DEVICE entry, as you mentioned.
Hope that helps,
