   It will get its ip via dhcp from the wireless AP. Go into the wifi modem   
   and specify that the MAC address of the printers wifi card should always   
   get some specific IP address. Of course if you do not have access to   
   setting up that wireless router, then either get the person who IS   
   responsible to do this, or put up with first having to find the IP of   
   the printer every time before you print. note that the printers IP   
   should be pretty stable, unless someone decides it is a good idea to   
   shut off the printer everynight to save energy or something.
