Per Jessen and jdd: I'm afraid I'm out of my depth here. It looks like I could assign specific ip addresses for certain MAC addresses, but I don't believe I have ever done that. At any rate, it would not change the IP of the printer, which I wish to set back to 192.168.1.26. I believe that if the IP is static and set up in the computer, it will always find it. I have the installation information on the printer, but no details for setting the ip. It is very basic, and there are many more pages for getting the FAX set up than anything else, but I don't care about that--I just use the FAX as a dumb FAX machine.
It is more possible for the printer to forget configuration and reset to defaults, than to change by itself the configured IP. And a reset to defaults would mean get the network configuration automatically from the router, ie, via DHCP protocol.
There are probably guidance howtos out there on your particular router on how to do whatever. If it is a popular model, with photos or videos.
At worst, take a photo and send it to us, and we tell the next step to click, one by one... would take long, of course.
You need to obtain the MAC address of the printer first. This can be done on your computer, but this instant I don't remember how. nmap?
Alternatively, find a howto document for your printer on how to set its IP.

Epson is less than friendly to Linux. There is supposed to be a program for Windows "EpsonNet Config Utility" which I (thought) I downloaded in Windows 10, but it won't run. I'm really not familiar with Windows--I haven't really used it in 17 years--since I retired!
