192.168.0.0/24 is a broadcast address which if the dhcp is configured to hand out 192.168.0.0 is a mistake. I don't know if the software is smart enough to know that it shouldn't hand out a broadcast address.
Also Gigabit normally indicates auto-negotiation. If something is set to use a specific speed and cannot get it, you won't get a link. Without a managed switch, you won't see this failure and printers without a network connection probably don't have a log to see the problem either.
