Several things to consider....

First, most modern routers allow you to "fix" IP addresses to a given MAC address.  So,
when a device requests an IP address from the DHCP server it will supply the same IP
address for a given MAC address.  So, what router are you using?

Second, when it comes to printers many have network setups that allow you to assign a
static address. 

So, just because your router acts as a DHCP server doesn't mean you can't have static IP
addresses in your network.
