IP Address Changes in different parts of office. Printer cannot print.

[dianaz97]

We have a 90ft by 25ft office and use TP Link Deco to extend the wifi. We also have a RICOH Aficio MP C3001 [00267336DE12] printer. 

On my boss's computer we can't seem to print in her room (the room with the original router) as when entering this room the IP Address changes to a different one even though the network remains the same. Because the IP address no longer matches the printer's IP address, she can no longer print using her laptop in this room. At the front of the office, everything prints fine and everyone else's laptops print fine either way. I tried manually setting the IP address on her laptop but to no avail. Appreciate any ideas / solutions!

The printer needs to have a static IP addess that is not in the DHCP of the mesh network. 

There is a discussion of the problem here

Another possible option, one that worked for me, was to use the local name of the router "attlocal.net" and the unique name of my HP LJ printer "npi40cb07"

I access my printer using npi40cb07.attlocal.net but is is hardwired to the modem and has a fixed ip address.
