If your router provides DHCP it usually provides a DNS service as well. You should log into your router and check the menus.

Printers with an Ethernet connection usually by default observe for DHCP before assigning a random IP. So your printer should get its IP from your router as well. Your printer most likely tells the router’s DNS also its symbolic name, most likely some combination of manufacturer and model. The printers configuration page will tell you, or you can have a look into the device list of your router which should show the IP address and the symbols name (smoother like e.g. „brother-mx“). So you might use that symbolic name in the printer configuration of your workstations. > > In other words, I would ask if, in linux environment, it is a possibility different to the setting up the router do assign static IP addresses, for managing this problem ( for example using DNS...)?? you can manually assign fix IP addresses to network devices. You router will find out by itself about IP addresses in use and won’t offer them in the DHCP process. Generally it’s a bad idea to mix devices with manually assigned IPs and devices using DHCP, at least if you have to manage more than 10 devices or so. After some time you forget some details and/or there is an update which changes some details, and you may run into issues. IT’s better to have a central management device, which is the router. Usually, you can configure the router to always assign the same IP address to a device depending on its MAC address. — Dr. Peter Boy Universität Bremen Mary-Sommerville-Str. 5 28359 Bremen Germany pb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.zes.uni-bremen.de ———————————————— Are you looking for a web content management system for scientific research organizations?
