Such a plight. I sadly still have to do this on occasion for family. But I usually get a free dinner out of it.

9/10 it has been the printer got a new IP from DHCP and the idiotic phones/laptops still used the previous one. I'm hoping a DHCP reservation will keep me a bit more sane.

But don't get me started on ws-print bullshit.

    Got tired of that stuff when my wife was working from home. Brief power outage and everything got new IP addresses.

    Ended up putting the IP info on the printer manually to an address outside DHCP scope
