Try changing the DHCP server reseveration type to 'Both: DHCP/BOOTP' - sometimes things don't work on ust DHCP.

i am getting the same issue on on of the scopes. As soon as i make the reservation the printer will not pick up any Ip addresses but it will work if there is no reservation for that device.
Did you find a solution for this problem?

Make sure that the reservation address is not currently leased out to another host. If so, release the ip address of the host currently using the address that you want to reserve. I think a reboot might do the trick as well.
