APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) is a feature in Windows operating systems that allows devices to automatically assign themselves a private IP address in the absence of a DHCP server. When a device with APIPA enabled cannot find a DHCP server to assign it an IP address, it will assign itself an IP address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. This ensures that the device can still communicate on the local network, even without a DHCP server.
automatically assign an ip address
No, Windows normally assumes that the network uses DHCP and it attempts to find a DHCP server on the network. If it cannot find one it will eventually assign a 169.x.x.x address but it will not assign the gateway or the DNS addresses when it assigns the 169.x.x.x address.
A DHCP server will assign addresses and network masking automatically.

That is mainly used for larger networks. For a home network, just assign the IP address manually.Auto-obtaining an IP address requires configuring a DHCP server - the machine that will assign those addresses, out of a specified address pool.That is mainly used for larger networks.

The Logical address is what we assign to the Network device to identify. for example IP Address.
I think you're thinking of the protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses? An IP address does not assign an IP address, and IP address is a node on a network where data can be sent or received. The protocol used for automatic assigning of IP addresses would be DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Yes, your wireless print server will have its own IP address. However, you should not have to manually assign this IP address. The network you connect to should use DCHP which will automatically assign the print server the next IP address on the list for your network. All you should have to worry about is hooking it all up correctly and having the drivers you need. Configuration is normally OS dependent.
