I don't think changing IPs should be part of your problem, but you can
configure your DHCP server to always give a device the same IP.  I'd
always suggest doing that to things that are permanently part of your
network, leave random allocation to things that only visit.

If your printer/scanner was first discovered by your computer
automatically (as opposed to you having to manually configure
everything), then it ought to do it again.  Perhaps restarting
printer/scanning software might retrigger things.

Thus far, over many years, I'd noticed that printing & scanning
software only seemed to care about device names, not fixed IPs.

Though I'd be quite surprised if you couldn't configure such a HP
printer/scanner to use a fixed IP within its front panel controls.

What else has changed in the meantime?  Was there an update to xsane?
