Good point.  In my case it wouldn't cause a problem, because my DHCP
server is tied in with my DNS server, and the print server is referred
to by name.

Standard advice says always put your servers on a fixed address.  While
you can use DNS to find print.localdomain no matter what its IP address
is, firewall rules based on names can be a right pain to manage.
