Re: "inactive" reservation
A reservation means that a when a particular device (MAC) requests an
address, it will always get the assigned IP. Since you've manually set the
printer to use a static IP, it is never sending a bootp request to the DHCP
server and therefor the DHCP has never assigned a lease, thus showing it as
inactive.
An Exclusion is usually used where a device will be manually set to an IP
address within your DHCP scope.
