When printer is started on the network, it gets the ip from the dhcp server and registers that ip in the dns <<

You don't need ddns, so much as a fixed address in the DHCP server configuration. Get your printer's Ethernet address, and add a host entry in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file like this one:

host kyocera1 { hardware ethernet 00:c0:ee:62:7D:bb; fixed-address 192.168.168.246; }

Then you can set up an A record for the printer in your DNS the usual way.

Best,
