I don't know how a DHCP server running on your own portable machine is going to help but to set up a 1-time IP. Won't it just get wiped the next time the printers are rebooted? Does your client not have an existing DHCP service running on their network?

He wants to setup a DHCP server so he can change the settings via the web interface instead of via the front panel.
