Configure the BOOTP server. Edit the BOOTP configuration file (normally
/etc/bootptab). This file is a collection of entries for each BOOTP client served by this
server.
An entry for a particular hardware address sets various IP parameters. The following is
an example of a typical entry:
net_printer:\
ht=ether:\
ha=000400123ABC:\
ip=192.168.2.0:\
sm=255.255.255.128:\
gw=192.168.0.0:\
hn:
The following table provides information about the parameters.

Make sure BOOTP is enabled. Check the network setup page.

Set up the printer host name in the computer. To do so, define the printer IP name
and address in the /etc/hosts file or on the name server. This address must match the
IP address. You may want to use a host name that is meaningful in your environment
(for example, a name that identifies the printer location).
