Option 1
Install the CD that came with the print server on your wife's machine.
It will detect the print server and allow you to set a static IP.

Option 2
You should be able to get into the router, either by browser or telnet and
view
a table of current DHCP leases.

Option 3
Set one of your machines to pick up a DHCP address.  View what it is, then
ping
a couple of addresses before and after it until you get a reply.  This is
most
likely the print server.

I beleive this is what you were asking!?
