Don't give it a dynamic address (i.e. don't just let DHCP assign it every time) -- give it either a static or reserved dynamic address.

Otherwise the computers will not find it at the address that it had when it was installed for them if it changes addresses. The same is true for other network infrastructure, like wireless access points.

I have an Epson WF-2540 that would intermittently lose wireless printing capability. Changing its control panel settings to a static IP address solved the issue. Thanks!
