You set the printer to a static IP using its browser interface. Its factory default setup will be to gain an IP via DHCP, so first you'll have to figure out what IP it got from your network, either by querying the active leases on your DHCP server for hostnames that you don't recognize, or by printing the printer configuration page, which you do via the printer control panel.

Once you know its IP, you can browse to the IP and adjust whatever settings you need to, including IP address, etc.
