   I had to set up a home printer to DHCP, using the home router to hand   
   out the address.   
      
   The printer has no display. It is configured using an app on a   
   smartphone. Kind of. The easiest way to give it a fixed address was   
   DHCP, after finding how to print a network report page and find the MAC.
