Re: SBS2003 Ip conflict with a printer & copier

Take that configuration page from the printer over to your SBS. Go into the DHCP console, and under Scope select Address Leases. Pick an unused IP that you want to assign to the HP. R-click Reservations and add a new reservation for that IP address, using the printer's MAC address from the configuration ***. Do whatever you do to cause the printer to renew its DHCP lease, and it should renew with the IP you selected.

Now you have to do the same thing for the Canon, even if it's configured with a static IP. Otherwise, the DHPC server is liable to give out that conflicting IP again to some other device. The Canon should not be effected by this if it's using a static IP, and if for some reason it resets to use DHCP, it'll get the correct IP.

I just moved a system and printer to another location in the building. The
printer is an USB HP printer with an attached print server. The configuration
shows on the print server an IP of 192.168.16.14. I go inot the print setup
on the users system and the port is configured on the same IP, great.

I print from the users printer just fine. I change it to the canon copier
printer on the network and it prints to the HP. I notice they are both on the
same IP address.

I don't want to reconfigure the Canon because it was difficult to set-up. Is
there a way to givethe HP a specific IP address. I tried to change it on the
print server from DHCP to Static but it would not let me. Is there anything I
can do on the server level to accomplish this.
