Explanation

Network printers need to be reachable at a consistent, predictable IP address so that computers and print servers can always find them. If the printer uses dynamic (DHCP) addressing, it may receive a different IP address each time the network restarts, breaking any configured printer connections. Assigning the printer a static IP address ensures it always uses the same address, making it reliably available after any network or device restart. A private address is any non-routable IP and does not ensure consistency. Wi-Fi capability is about connectivity, not address stability.
