Pro tip: static IP on the office printer fixed a 3 week long mystery

Our office printer kept dropping off the network at random times and people were losing their minds trying to print invoices. Last week I set a static IP on it through the router instead of letting DHCP hand it a new address, and it hasn't dropped once since then. I know it sounds basic but nobody here had thought to check if the address was changing behind our backs. If you run a small shop and your printer keeps vanishing from the network, check the DHCP lease first. Has anyone else had a printer that just randomly falls off?
