Hi,

I connect to a network where my IP is assigned by a router/gateway using 
DHCP. The other computers on the network are getting their IP's the same way. 
This is practical since we use a lot of laptops on different networks. DHCP 
makes this easy. 

My problem is printing. The computer having the printer attached does not 
have a static IP since we use DHCP (but it is not a laptop so I guess I could 
assign it a static IP and let the laptops use DHCP). I have cups installed 
and wondered how I can make printing work in this DHCP network environment 
since it looks like to me that CUPS need an IP to connect to a remote 
printer.  Host name alone doesn't seem to be enough.

Ideas? TIA
