   And Append:

   hardware ethernet [MACPRINTER];
   fixed-address [STATICIPPRINTER];
   }
   

   Replace [MYHOSTNAME], [MACPRINTER] and [STATICIPPRINTER] with the Correct Values!
   Like for Instance:

   host myniceprinting {
   hardware ethernet 080069001234;
   fixed-address 192.168.0.100;
   }
   

   Save & Exit!

5. Again Restart DHCP Server.

   sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

6. Finally, Check if Configuration is Working
   First, Check IP’s List:

   ip link show

   And then try to Ping the Printer:

   ping -c 3 [STATICIPPRINTER]

   So if like here above:

   ping -c 3 192.168.0.100

   In the Output you should find the Ping Confirmation!
