My ethernet-connected printer uses DHCP to get IP address and network configuration. The printer announces itself to the network with <mac-address>.local name so a print server can use that name to connect to it. CUPS print server also announces its printers by names. No static IP address configuration needed anywhere. I think the underlying technique is called multicast DNS. -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. <https://github.com/tlikonen> // // PGP: 4E10 55DC 84E9 DFF6 13D7 8557 719D 69D3 2453 9450 ///
