XP ICS works great but...

I volunteer in a small non-profit office and they just got DSL in the
office.

The setup:

Three computers
Primary PC is connected to DSL router
Dual NIC cards on the primary PC
Secondary NIC goes to 10/100 hub
Other computers go to hub
All running Windows XP Pro

Problem:
There is a network copier/printer on the network. The manual says that
DHCP
will mess up the printer each time it reboots. Manufacturer recommends
fixing the IP of the printer.

Question:

I have read that I cannot block any range of IP address from the ICS
DHCP
server. What will happen when the DHCP assigns the same IP? I assume I
will
start getting network conflicts with two devices havin the same IP or
is the
ICS thorough enough to do a ARP or RARP before assigning the new IP.

If my solution is to disable the ICS, how do I do that easily and what
series of menus do I access on each machine to set the IP address.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
