Re: Print Distribution and IP connected Devices

2007-08-23 Thread Bill Dodge
The best way (IMHO) is for the network group to establish a pool of static 
addresses for printers and to hard assign those addresses to the printers.  
Then to take it a step further to give them DNS entries so the IPADDR can be 
changed if necessary but your print distribution doesn't need to be changed.  
The problem with DHCP is that you need to wait for the printer to attach to the 
network and then go find out what IPADDR was assigned.  Then you have to go 
back and establish that address for the right printer in your distribution 
package.  The real FUBAR happens if DHCP leases expire and the netwwork goes 
down (like that never happens)or the printer goes offline for an extended 
period of time (What? Hardware breaks?  Go figure.).  Now as the printers 
attach to the network they will all undoubtedly have new IP adrresses - just 
the nature of the beast.

Me too.  I thought they got a copy of the WAVV registration list because I get
