JetDirect Print Server Problem After DHCP Change

I changed the address range of the DHCP server on a small office network from 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254 to .11-.254, and that caused the HP JetDirect 170X J3258B print server to stop working. I'm pretty sure the problem was caused by the print server's IP address changing. I don't know what it was before, but it's now using 192.168.0.12. How do I fix the problem? Do I just change the IP address used for the network printer on each of the client machines?
 
You can find it's old IP address by looking at the port information on the PCs. After that configure the IP address on the JetDirect Statically (or manually) using the IP address you found on the PCs.
 
Either configure the workstations to print to the new IP, or do what InlineFive said...but Disable DHCP on the print server so it won't keep pullin one from teh DHCP server.
