The printer I was working with was a HP CP1518ni. The first step was to select an IP addresses that is not part of the dynamic IP pool. Then I used the printer menu on the printer itself to set the static IP address I selected in step one. I was also prompted to set the subnet mask and gateway too so be sure to have this information available. Because this printer previously had a dynamic IP address, I went to the ports tab on the printer configuration menu (in XP - Start/Printer & Faxes/right click on printer and select properties) and placed a check in the box next to the new static IP address I selected in the previous step. Finally, I printed a test page to verify the printer was properly configured.
Happy printing!
