Re: networking, static printer, subnets, bridging, ddwrt
I haven’t DDWRT, but it might be possible to add a second IP address to the Rueter in the range the printer is in. Alias IP address. I seem to remember doing this using the command line IP addr add command. used Cheers Chris Turner Sent from mobile.

Hi,
You may be able to do something with Arp on the clients but why on earth do you not want to change the printer's IP address? Even at work I never really configured anything with statics for this reason, if stuff had a static IP address it went into the DHCP reserved table.

Hello,
I've factory reset my ddwrt router and configured it per request on a non-1 subnet specifically 192.168.200.0/24. In doing so I neglected to remember that my printer does not get it's IP via dhcp nor a dhcp reservation, it's statically assigned in this case my old subnet configuration of 192.168.1.200.
My question is can I via a bridge or a vlan, set up ddwrt so that anyone on 200.0/24 can see the printer and when jobs are sent to it they go to that bridge/vlan and arrive at the printer for printing. Changing the printer interface is preferably not possible.
Thanks.

Hi, Thanks. This printer moves around a lot and I'm wanting to always know what IP it's on when I get it on to whichever network it's in. Thanks. Dave. On 7/28/18, Chris T <ultimatethesecond@googlemail.com> wrote:

I would suggest configuring the DHCP server to identify the printer by its Mac address, and always give it the same IP address. Then configure the printer to obtain an address via DHCP.
