printer dynamic address allocation problem

We have been having problems with our networked printer ever since we changed our ISP and changed our wireless modem/router. I think the issue is with dynamic address allocation changing the network address of the printer so that the driver fails to see it. If I re-install the printer driver everything is hunky dory until the printer is reset or the router is reset. As the printer is not used every day it is turned off until required ........

Is there a simple way to stop this?

If the addresses are stopped from changing regularly, are there any downsides? Security issues?

Thanks for your interest,

Rans6....
