John,

My experiences over the past couple of decades is the opposite: I've never
had a printer with a built-in IP address. Of course, the Okidata dot-matrix
printer wasn't network-enabled, but the laser and inkjet printers all
were/are and the IP address is set in /etc/hosts, not on the printer. Then
again, my printers have been HP (and a Brother which I gave to a new home).
