... via DHCP
The print server supports DHCP, which means that the IP address of
the print server can be assigned dynamically via a DHCP server.
In networks with DHCP servers, the dynamic name registration is
done by DNS servers, which can be dynamically configured by the
DHCP server. Most systems additionally use a WINS server, which
answers name enquires that the DNS server cannot handle.
The print server does not support DHCPv6.

What Happens When
the Print Server is
Turned on?
After the hardware installation, the print server asks a DHCP server
for an IP address by means of a broadcast query. The DHCP server
identifies the print server on the basis of its hardware address and
sends a data packet to the print server.
This data packet contains, among others, the IP address of the print
server, the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server.
The data is saved in the print server.
The print server now transmits a name registration request to the
WINS server, along with the IP address and host name assignment.
The answer from the WINS server contains the period of validity of
the name entry in the WINS database. Once this period has expired,
the print server renews its registration with the WINS server so that
its IP address and host name remain constantly valid.
