A technician has deployed a network printer to be used by an office for centralized printing. Which of the following will prevent IP address changes from occurring?

Dynamic IP addressing means the IP address can change over time, which is undesirable for a network printer that needs a stable address.

A DHCP reservation assigns a specific, static IP address to a device's MAC address within the DHCP server. This ensures that every time the printer requests an IP address, it receives the same one, preventing IP changes and maintaining consistent network access.

A link-local address is self-assigned by a device when no DHCP server is available and no static IP is configured, which is not suitable for a centralized network printer.

DNS (Domain Name System) translates hostnames to IP addresses but does not prevent the underlying IP address from changing; it merely maps a name to whatever IP is currently assigned.
