Printer DHCP Issue

I have a Windows 2003 network running DHCP, DNS and WINS. I have a network
connected printer running on a 2003 FIle/Print Server. The printer has a
reserved DHCP Address. The printer was functioning properly for some time.
I then noticed that the printer has lost it's DHCP configuration. I have
checked the domain controller and confirmed the DHCP settings
(scope/reservation etc) are correct. Where do I start troubleshooting? I
have checked network cables, switch ports, etc and everything appears fine.

First make sure the printer is still set as a
DHCP client.

Make sure that the Reservation is still present.

Make sure no other DHCP server or RAS server,
or ordinary client is hardcode to use or distribute
this address.

Perhaps the lease expired and the printer didn't renew?

Try restarting the printer.

A reservation can have different options -- if allowed
set this one to NO EXPIRATION.
