Odd Printer IP address issues

[AHarvey]

Hi,

I've a really odd printer issue on a remote site.

2 printers Xerox Phaser 6500 and and Xerox Phaser 3320.

Every day I have to remote in and remove old printers from a Windows 7 PC and set the printers back up, the issue is the IP addresses have changed.

What's really odd, is that 2 other machines on Win 8/10 aren't having the same problem.

I'm going to look at setting a static IP for the printers, but, as the other 2 machines aren't having this issue I'm not 100% that will fix it, or does Win8/10 auto update IP of connected devices?

Any ideas?

Tried printer name first, then IP's.

I'm remoting in later so will check DNS and I don't think they switch anything off, they've been told to leave everything on but it's another thing I'll check.

And the IP being shown for the one printer is actually a Yealink phone...
