Hi! I’m studying and it says that it’s better to have a static IP address for a printer when a power outage occurs since the printer can come back up faster with static ip then a dynamic.
Why is static better?

I’ll try an actual ELI5.
Say you’re in the phone book with the phone number 555-1234. Everyone knows when they look up your name that your phone number is 555-1234 so they save your number in their speed dial. Now what if everyone gets a new phone number every time a phone book is printed. It would take longer to figure out what your number is because they will now need to look it up and make a note of it. A static IP is your assigned phone number it never changes unless you request that it be changed.
