I can remember early network printers using bootp and the assuming that
they could use that one ip address forever. today the printer will dhcp
and advertise it's availability in the same broadcast domain and may
well reregister it's name in dynamic dns if possible.

Funny... I remember printers only thinking that if they were going to get
moved, they'd also likely get unplugged and get a new address after
the move.
