In the

Lease Duration

section, select

Unlimited

, then select

[OK]

.

HP recommends that all print servers be assigned infinite leases to avoid problems resulting from IP addresses
that change. Be aware, however, that selecting an unlimited lease duration for the scope (as described above)
causes all clients in that scope to have infinite leases.

If you want clients on your network to have finite leases, you can instead set the duration to a finite time, but you
should configure all print servers as reserved clients for the scope.
