I may be off base here, but do printers ever use DHCP? If so, wouldn't
their IP address be rather, well, dynamic?

Why is it important to know their IP address? I could imagine the network
admin wanting to segregate printers on to their own subnet, or only allow
the printer subnet to do certain things. Like I think some barcode
printers used ftp to download labels and someone may want to only allow
ftp from some particular addresses.
