Default TCP/IP address change stops printer?

I have a Brother HL-5280DW. My mac will print to it over the wired network.
My XP machine will print to it over the wired network. Vista, however, will
only print to it until somehow the IP address is changed. This is confusing,
since to the best of my knowledge, the IP address has always changed and it
never mattered on the mac or under XP. I have no idea how to fix this, but I
do know that my frustration with Vista is reaching the point that I need to
either get this stuff working or junk the OS.

Any ideas?
