I have an airport basestation next to my router which is plugged into it via the WAN port. A cable runs out of the LAN port to a 16 port hub to which a number of computers are connected physically as well as an HP d135 all-in-one printer with a JetDirect print server.
The printer is set up using CUPS with its own dedicated IP address but I want to change the basestation to distribute IP addresses to the whole network by DHCP and NAT. My question is how do I keep one of the addresses constant so that I can configure CUPS on all the machines with one address.
With DHCP the maximum lease time is 15 days, so how do I get a number like 10.0.1.2 dedicated solely to the printer? Is this possible? Any other suggestions are greatly ap[preciated!
Cheers,
Rohan
