After replacing a normal router with a Cisco 881K, i had to re-assign static addresses to a couple of printers (actually one – because the other has a LCD panel and i can manually enter it’s IP address).
The problem was that Cisco documentation states that after creating a dhcp pool , you just need to enter the IP address and the client identifier. Normally the identifier is the MAC address concatenated with a number representing the Ethernet media type. In my particular case, i had to use only the MAC address, in order for the printer to get the assigned IP.
"DHCP clients require client identifiers. The unique identification of the client is specified in dotted hexadecimal notation, for example, 01b7.0813.8811.66, where 01 represents the Ethernet media type, and the rest is the MAC address for the device".

Here is a fix for Internet Explore and Firefox ( under Windows ). We need to create a PAC file (Proxy Auto Configuration) and then instruct IE / Firefox to use it.
