dhcp

The URL for my printer generated by hp-makeuri looks like this:

hp:/net/Officejet_6500_E710n-z?ip=192.168.178.30

But the printer is on a dhcp enabled wifi network and so its IP-address does and could change. On the other hand my wifi router seems smart enough to have some sort of DNS:

$ ping hp-6500a
PING hp-6500a.fritz.box (192.168.178.30) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from hp-6500a.fritz.box (192.168.178.30): icmp_req=1 ttl=255 time=11.3 ms

I tried to use the hostname in the CUPS URL/DeviceUID but it failed, any suggestions if this is possible and the correct format?
