I feel your pain. I can see how someone would do this but it wouldn't
work for us. People on the same subnet here may use different printers.
Our application software uses a data area for each persons default
printer. Granted, specialty items have different overrides. Some people
just have it go to a dummy and move them to a real printer when they
physically want to print it. Again, think of the person who's laptop is
always moving around.

If you just really want to stick with a close derivative of this perhaps
you can do ranges of IP addresses. Most DHCP setups would be using that
anyway. Try to work with your network people on this. DHCP, other than
servers, is really where you want to go. Be flexible. Assume that you'll
redo all this in 3 years or less (like going to IP6 or some such thing).
Or being bought and new network admins coming in and saying "thou shalt
have DHCP and your range of addresses will be this...". Because at that
time you'll be inundated with merge issues and minutia of ip addressing of
your printing will not be your highest priority.
